Red Flags Rule guidance published
Patient Financial Services Weekly Advisor, April 10, 2009
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published guidance April 7 to help organizations comply with the May 1 deadline on the Red Flags Rule, which forces hospitals to implement a written identity theft prevent program.
The report offers four steps to complete compliance with the Rule:
- Include reasonable policies and procedures to identify the “red flags” of identity theft
- Design your program to detect red flags that you have identified
- Spell out appropriate actions you’ll take when you detect red flags
- Address how you will re-evaluate your program periodically
