HIPAA for the everyday provider.

Our online course will cover a number of important terms, definitions, and responsibilities of medical and dental practices in protecting patient health information as directed by HIPAA, Health and Human Services, and the Office of Civil Rights.

The goal of this information is to provide context to the many guidelines that we are facing in our day to day business of treating patients.
