New rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) require covered dental practices to make changes to how they comply with the law. The new rules took effect March 26, and dental practices must be in compliance with most of the new rules by Sept. 23.
ADA CE Online is offering a new online course to assist dental practices with compliance. Dental Practice HIPAA Compliance: An Overview of Changes in the 2013 Omnibus Final Rule was developed by the ADA legal division, offers one hour of CE credit and costs $41.00.
