Federal Trade Commission RED FLAG RULE on Identity Theft
FTC Postpones "Red Flags" Rule Implementation - June 1, 2010
Due to the hard work of grassroots dentists, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is delaying enforcement of the “Red Flags” Rule until June 1, 2010. The American Dental Association (ADA) succeeded in getting Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, to sign on to a letter to FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz, urging him to issue another enforcement delay.
The ADA continues to advocate on behalf of its members and is working in the Senate to pass legislation that will exempt health care practices with 20 or fewer employees, which means most private practice dental offices, from the regulations. Please look for more information in the TDA Today as this issue moves forward. In the meantime, contact Diane Rhodes at (512) 443-3675 or Diane@tda.org.
To help with this process, the American Dental Association (ADA) has prepared the following information to allow easy compliance in your office by the deadline.
For more information contact TDA Policy Manager Diane Rhodes at the TDA central office, (512) 443-3675 or diane@tda.org.
