R. Jeffrey Hedges, "The HIPAA Guy™" is recognized as one of the leading HIPAA consultants in the country.
Jeff will review your existing HIPAA Policies and Procedures and associated documents to ensure they meet the intent of, and comply with, the federal HIPAA laws, which include the new HITECH regulations.
Did you know that the Economic Stimulus bill passed in early 2009 contained major changes to the HIPAA Compliance program? In most cases, a new policy and procedure manual is required to be completed to meet the HITECH rules and regulations. Have you updated your program?
Jeff specializes in identifying potential concerns with these complex laws and will assist you in incorporating them into your current policies and procedures. He will then customize and provide you with an easy to use HIPAA compliance program.
