Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we’re chatting about what to do if your practice experiences a natural disaster, like a hurricane.

 

We discuss:

• The recent hurricanes impacting the southeast US
• Prioritizing access to care
• Limited HIPAA waivers for disasters and emergencies
• And situations where the waivers would apply
• Resources for group practices in and out of the affected areas
