The HIPAA Gang

THE HIPAA GANG... is a group of prominent HIPAA experts who provided bi-monthly commentary on HIPAA's evolving impact on the financial and healthcare industries. Our roundtables evolved into a high level policy webcast series with live national productions from the National HIPAA Summit/Medical Banking Institute series, the HIPAA Colloquium at Harvard University, LegalTech New York, National WEDi Conference and other events. MBProject Members have exclusive access to audio, transcripts, and presentation materials from all twelve of the HIPAA Policy Roundtables.
