The American Hospital Association (AHA) hosted two audio conferences—on October 7 and October 23—to help hospitals prepare for the red flag medical identity theft rule compliance deadline. Note that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) extended the compliance deadline for creditors and financial institutions from November 1 to May 1, according to an October 22 FTC announcement.
