Red Flag Rule

Practices all over are struggling to get ready for the Red Flag Rule before the May 1st deadline. http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/alerts/alt050.shtm
The basic premise of this rule is to be able to identify a red flag and show what are you going to do about it in your practice. There are many resources now available to help practices become complaint and many of these are free. We have listed just a few below. When looking at the resources, be sure that it will work in your practice.
