HIPAA Risk Management Mini-seminar to Help Providers Survive Healthcares Own Y2K.

With less than 50 days before the October 16th HIPAA deadline, Risk Management should now be the guiding force, to achieve compliance and to prepare for the inevitable problems.

Lawrenceville, GA (PRWEB) August 29, 2003 -- The looming compliance deadline of October 16th for the Transactions & Code Sets portion of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), comes with the probability of healthcare providers struggling to receive payment for their services, and the possibility of bankruptcy. Carapace Inc. has announced availability of a presentation showing how Risk Management can reduce the likelihood of adverse effects, as well as providing the basis for action before and after October 16th.

"HIPAA Risk Management Planning for Providers" is for those who arent expecting the worst, and for those who havent even considered what it is. Like Y2K, which also had a strict deadline, failure to be prepared and inability to handle problems will negatively affect business. For those who expect to be compliant in time, good management practice dictates that they still consider the effects of failure and prepare for the worst. For those who are doubtful they will reach compliance, risk management, at this late stage, should be the guiding light in determining what should be done between now and the deadline.

This mini-seminar is available for presentation at providers facilities and can be arranged by contacting Jack Lovell, toll free on 800-938-9414, Ext. 101.
