Red Flag Rules: Strategies for Implementing an Identity Theft Protection Program

Format: Audio CD-ROM (includes presentation materials)
Estimated Duration: 90 minutes
Price: $195


OVERVIEW

The Red Flag Rules, issued by the Federal Trade Commission and other federal agencies in 2007, are designed to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft from a hospital's patient accounts and any other debtors' accounts. The rules require financial institutions and creditors which hold consumer or other “covered accounts” – likely including most hospitals – to develop and implement an identity theft prevention program by Nov. 1, 2008. Enforcement of the rules has been suspended until Aug. 1, 2009. This recording of an audioconference presented on March 10, 2009, will help hospitals comply with the Red Flag Rules by reviewing best practices for an effective identity theft prevention program.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
  • Explain the nature of the Red Flag Rules.
  • Identify the criteria for a compliant program.
  • Discuss practical approaches to meeting the Red Flag Rules.
  • Describe the penalties for failing to meet the rules.
