As health service providers, psychologists must attend to many complex compliance issues in patient care. This webinar offers guidance and resources so you can focus less on figuring out compliance and more on serving patients.

During this free presentation, a panel of APA Practice attorneys and Allied World risk managers highlight recent federal regulatory developments. Panelists also answer questions on the following more perennial issues:

  • telehealth and licensure/interstate practice
  • good faith estimates under the No Surprises Act
  • other HIPAA privacy rules (e.g., patient and insurer requests for records)
  • patient records management, retention, and destruction

About Ask the Experts Webinars

What does every practicing psychologist need to know to reap the benefits of emerging issues and trends and to reduce legal, disciplinary, and regulatory risk? Psychologists face many legal and risk management challenges in practice. These issues are complex, distinct, and often require expertise beyond what most psychologists have. APA’s Legal and State Advocacy team and risk management experts from Allied World, underwriter for the American Professional Agency, identify “hot topics” and provide best practices and risk mitigation strategies for the wide range of issues psychologists face.
