Red Flag Rules for Health Care Providers

Red Flag Rules apply to many types of businesses in protecting
consumers from Fraud an Identity Theft...one of these areas is
Red Flag Compliance for Health Care Providers

Red Flags Identification

Identification involves an evaluation of covered accounts (i.e. billing and records accounts) and the methods available to open, access, modify or close those accounts.

Preliminary questions helpful in identifying red flags might include the following:

• How is an individual’s identity verified before opening or accessing a covered account?
• What information is required for such verification?
• What is done with that information once it is collected?
• What third party service providers have access to data?

Penalties For Noncompliance

The Act can subject organizations to civil monetary penalties at both the federal and state level.

Although the FTC has not yet begun formal enforcement, fines could be assessed against each of a noncompliant companies’ covered accounts, retroactively, as the Red Flags Rules are in force.

The FTC has indicated that they may initiate investigations based on consumer or third party complaints (which can be initiated easily at the FTC Website or other government agency).

Federal authorities may impose up to a $2,500 fine for each knowing violation. 15 U.S.C. §1681s(a)(2)(A). A state may impose up to a $1,000 fine for each willful or negligent violation. 15 U.S.C. §1681s(c)
(1)(B)(iii).

Red Flags Rules-The Shocking Secret

Red Flags Compliance generally has been so surrounded by the
"mystery" of the Red Flag Rules that Businesses have clearly
missed the Business Advantage of being Red Flag Compliant.

If you truly want to start taking your business to the next level,
( I mean ANY business REQUIRED to be Red Flags Compliant)
be the FIRST in your Industry or State or City to


STOP WHINING, CRYING AND HIDING FROM THE
RED FLAG RULES!

There, I said it!

It's for your own good...

If you Embrace the Fact that it's a Federal Law, on the books
and, that the Rules Are currently enforceable (whether the FTC
is "actively" enforcing or not) then I say...

Dominate your Competition, Dominate your Local Market.

You could be making a Lot More Money if you had this
"Red Flags Thing" figured out... Marketing More Effectively

If you are Required to be Compliant under Red Flag Rules
you are what the Rules call "covered" (which is a confusing way
of saying...You Have to be Certified or you are subject to FTC
fines and Audits, Civil liability and possibly Class Action lawsuits
if not Compliant...) .

questions with you...If you are not sure IF you are "covered"
