Did you know a new version of PCI DSS is rolling out in March 2025? Don’t get caught off guard! In this webinar, we will discuss how you can avoid fines and make sure your practice is prepared.
Approved for 1 CEU, AADOM is an AGD PACE Approved Provider (can be used towards AADOM Designations)
This webinar will cover what every dental manager needs to know about ensuring their practice PCI maintains compliance after 4.0 rolls out in March 2025; plus, how to stay liability-free, and adherent to HIPAA security standards. This is especially important now, as PCI fines skyrocket, to ensure your office is protected from a financially debilitating data breach. And unlike businesses outside of medicine, you need to adhere to both PCI and HIPAA requirements.
Course Learning Objectives:
- Understand PCI (payment card industry) compliance
- Examine where PCI overlaps—and differs—from the HIPAA Security Rule
- Review the new requirements under PCI DSS 4.0
- Discuss how to ensure compliance and check your practice’s current status
- Assess your practice’s liability and what to ask your IT providers
