AHIMA Lobbying Aggressively Against Red Flag Exemption

AHIMA Recently sent a letter to Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs to oppose any consideration of HR 3763, legislation that would exempt certain businesses, including healthcare practices with 20 or fewer employees, from the requirements of the Red Flags Rule. AHIMA is asking members to send a letter to their Senators opposing this legislation.

Interesting position by AHIMA in seeking to have the Red Flag Rules apply to these smaller practices and one that is certain not to win them any fans among physician groups.
