Red Flag Rules Compliance Guide for Nonprofit Hospitals

To help you develop a compliant identity theft prevention program for your hospital, Bricker & Eckler in collaboration with The Ohio Hospital Association have developed an on-line compliance guide that will provide essential information and best practices to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's Red Flag Rules and Address Discrepancy Notification.

Why should you subscribe to the Nonprofit Hospital Compliance Guide for Red Flag Rules?

The risk of identity theft has increased to the point that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued regulations to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft (Red Flag Rules) The FTC has announced that these Red Flag Rules applies to nonprofit organizations including hospitals because hospitals fall into the definition of creditors. For hospitals, the problem goes far beyond financial. In fact, identity theft can lead to inaccurate information placed into a victim's medical record. As a result the victim of this identity theft could conceivably receive the wrong medical treatment or have treatment withheld based on inaccurate information in a victim's medical record. Our program will help you put your hospital in compliance with the Red Flag Rules and will offer some best practices to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft.
