Red Flag rules
- Q&A
As the May 1 deadline moves
closer, the DCMS wants to ensure its members are prepared to comply with the Federal
Trade Commission's Red Flag rules concerning identity theft. Much
information has been circulated by the DCMS (click here for the Winter 2008 NEFM article),
the FMA (click here for
FMA article) and other guides to ensure compliance. Still
confused? Send us an email (jmillson@dcmsonline.org) and the
DCMS will research the appropriate answer to assist you and your staff.
More information will continue to be sent via the "News" prior to May
1.
Direct
Payment for Services - Support Needed!
Senate Bill 1122 by Senator
Gaetz, Assignment of Benefits, requires that managed care companies pay the
physician directly for care provided rather than send the money directly to the
patient. Please contact your
Senator TODAY using the link below and encourage your Senator to co-sponsor
this important legislation. Also tell your Senator to ask Chairman
Garrett Richter to hear this bill in the next Senate Banking and Insurance
Committee meeting. Click the link below to log in and
