Red Flag Rules Implementation Takes Effect
November 1st!
Just a reminder that the
deadline to comply with the Red Flag Rules is November 1! Red Flag Rules require all financial
institutions and creditors, including physician offices, to
design and implement a compliance policy appropriate to their size and
complexity. The Duval
County Medical Society (DCMS) has developed a guidance document outlining the
requirements of the red flag rule, as well as provided a sample
policy prepared by the AMA. It is
critical that physicians and their office staff review and implement a policy
prior to the November 1 deadline to ensure compliance. To download
