'Red flags' regulation would be a burden

Regarding “Docs seek to block ‘red flags' rule”:

As a physician's office, it is often difficult enough to get our patients to pay in full. Now, they want to add an additional burden to all the other regulations we must abide by at this time.

I believe HIPAA takes care of the majority of this issue. We are always verifying who our patients are as they come in to our office. We protect their data as required now, one less policy, please.
