HIPAA Enforcement Is on the Rise; Keep Your Compliance Efforts on Track with CMA’s HIPAA Toolkit
[Posted 06/02/05]

With identity theft on the rise, so is HIPAA enforcement activity. To protect your practice from civil or criminal liability, it is important that you keep thorough privacy and security compliance records. Detailed information on maintaining such records is available in the CMA/PrivaPlan HIPAA Compliance Toolkit on CD-ROM.

The CMA toolkit is the only HIPAA compliance tool that contains California-specific HIPAA information and resources. While other HIPAA compliance tools give you generic forms and templates, the CMA toolkit is customized to comply with the special requirements under California law. The toolkit also contains training materials for your staff, including all the information and forms needed to comply with HIPAA’s privacy and security rules.

In a PrivaPlan exclusive, purchasers can participate in free online discussion groups moderated by PrivaPlan’s HIPAA compliance experts. CMA members can purchase the toolkit for $325 (nonmember price is $495). For an additional $99 a year, physicians can sign up to automatically receive future toolkit updates. Subscribers will also receive PrivaPlan’s HIPAA newsletter.

Order the toolkit online at the CMA bookstore.
