Red Flags Rule Enforcement Postponed until Court Ruling
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and several medical associations have agreed to a joint stipulation that the FTC would not enforce its Red Flags Rule with respect to physician members of various associations until the DC Circuit rules on the American Bar Association’s pending action challenging the Red Flags Rule. Although the FTC has already announced that it will again delay the deadline for compliance with the Red Flags Rule until December 31, 2010, this stipulation may extend further the compliance deadline for physicians in the medical associations and state medical societies referred to in the case.
