How Sharp Are Your HIPAA Tools?
A number of physicians in California have received a blast fax from a source
claiming to be the "Department of HIPAA-Assessment and Compliance" and offering
"the complete and revised 2003 HIPAA law and instructions from the Federal
Register" for $85. Be advised that the sender of this fax is in no way
associated with or endorsed by the federal government. The federal government
does not require or recommend that physicians buy any HIPAA product or service.
If you are looking for a comprehensive HIPAA compliance tool, however, check
out the CMA/PrivaPlan HIPAA Compliance ToolKit on CD-ROM. Also, if you are
wondering how other HIPAA compliance products measure up to CMA’s ToolKit, use
