LOS ANGELES, CA - August 13, 2009 - RPost(R), the leader in value-
added outbound messaging with its flagship Registered E-mail(R)
delivery proof, eSignOff(TM) electronic contract execution and
Secu(R)mail(TM) encryption services, today announced that it will host
a free, live webinar to discuss new legal issues and business risks
related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) that resulted from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
of 2009 ("ARRA"). The webinar will be presented on Wednesday, August
19th at 2:00 p.m. EST, and repeated on Thursday, September 10th at the
same time.
In this webinar, Jon Neiditz, Information Management Practice leader
at the law firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, will decipher the
new rules governing securing protected health information (PHI), the
wide range of firms soon to be covered by HIPAA rules, the new
enforcement actions and the major business risks associated with new
breach notification standards. Neiditz will also discuss his firm's
review of RPost's SecuRmail(TM) service, a HIPAA-compliant encrypted
e- mail service. In his firm's review, which is available by
contacting info@rpost.com, Neiditz states, "RPost e-mail services can
be used to deliver documents electronically in accord with the
technical safeguard standards of HIPAA relating to the security of
electronic communication of electronic personal health information."
Zafar Khan, CEO of RPost, will provide a brief on RPost's encrypted e-
mail service and discuss who is using it and why they have selected
use of RPost's service versus alternatives in the marketplace. RPost's
encrypted e-mail services now also permit the recipient to reply to a
received e-mail, encrypted in compliance with HIPAA, without any
recipient complexity or extra software/settings.
Bolton & Company, one of the largest employee-owned insurance brokers
in the United States, recently switched to RPost's service from a
competing provider. "With RPost's all-in-one offering, we were able to
implement one service to give both our benefits department encrypted
e-mail for HIPAA compliance and our commercial lines Registered E-mail
service to protect against e-mail disputes that create E&O exposure,"
remarks Jason Baltazar, Vice President of Information Technology at
Bolton & Company. "Our benefits department switched to RPost's
encrypted e-mail service due to the simplicity for both sender and
receiver. In the past, we were using an e-mail encryption service that
would require the recipient to click-through to a website to collect
their e-mail. Bottom line, people didn't do it, rendering our previous
system virtually worthless. Now, with RPost's encrypted e-mail
service, we have both legal proof records of delivery of the encrypted
e-mail right to their mailbox, with further proof of compliance with
security and privacy requirements, all with a high response rate as
there are no extra steps for the recipient."
Attend this webinar and you will learn:
- How if you have been a business associate covered only by contract,
you will soon be covered by specific HIPAA regulation with expanded
powers of enforcement
- About the new federal security breach notification rules, and how
different they are from all of the state laws to which you are now
subject
- About HIPAA-compliant technical safeguards
- How RPost's HIPAA-compliant encrypted e-mail service can cut cost
and improve satisfaction
Who should attend?
- Operations, compliance and IT directors at HIPAA 'business associates'
(e.g., IT vendors, consultants, and service providers such as benefits
insurance brokerages and billing, debt collections, transcription and
copying companies operating with protected health information).
- Note: All attendees will receive a complimentary 7-page legal brief
prepared by Neiditz that deciphers the legal issues, expanded coverage,
and new enforcement and business risks.
