I just received another conference notice. This time, it’s about HIPAA, it will be held in Washington DC for the small registration fee of $1,195.00. But, if you are late paying, the cost goes up to a measly $1,795.00. This 3-day conference will cover breakouts, keynote speakers and probably everything and even more than you ever wanted to know about patient privacy.
Do I sound sarcastic? Maybe just a bit? What about us patients who walk into a doctor’s office or a hospital setting and sign that we received the HIPAA policy (and have no clue what it says). Or, we are told “no” for any number of things like we want to find out about a patient, want to accompany a patient to a doctor’s office or are trying to help a patient / friend get information. We get “HIPAA, HIPAA, HIPAA” (said in the whiny Jan Brady voice).
I wouldn’t pay $1,000.00 to go to Washington to learn about HIPAA nor would I pay $100.00 and now YOU don’t have to either!
