As COVID-19 accelerates telemedicine's widespread usage, finding reliable and helpful information can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate. The Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) is committed to providing you with practical and usable resources to help you implement and optimize telemedicine operations in your practice.

CAP announced today it has entered into a new relationship with Professional Security Insurance Company, a member of the well-known nationwide MagMutual Group and an A.M. Best “A” (Excellent) rated insurance company, to offer superior medical professional liability coverage to large medical groups and healthcare facilities through the CAPAssurance Risk Purchasing Group.

The “My Practice” program offers members access to experienced professionals who can provide guidance and customized solutions across a wide variety of practice and business-related issues.

The July 15, 2020 combined Annual Meeting of CAP and MPT is open to Members of record as of May 27, 2020, at CAP’s Los Angeles office, 333 South Hope Street, 8^th Floor, Los Angeles 90071.

Members arriving at the 333 South Hope Street location may participate in the 1:00 p.m. meeting simultaneously with CAP and MPT Board Members, who may be participating in the meeting remotely.

Physicians and office staff understand that the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is federal law. It was designed to provide privacy standards to protect patients’ medical records and other health information. Nevertheless, many fail to recognize that they are not in compliance with federal privacy laws enacted since HIPAA. With an increase in the number of audits conducted for HIPAA compliance and larger penalty amounts, failing to comply with federal privacy laws is not something you can afford to do.
