HIPAA Implementation

Recently heard a presentation regarding the impact of HIPAA on medical offices. Although the final regs have been adopted and implementation deadlines established, one of our doctors insists nothing is yet final and that we need not expend a lot of effort on business adaptations at this time.
Is it possible/probable that HIPAA might be postponed, as did ergonomics???
If not, I'll need some heavy ammunition to counter our doctor's information source.

A good source to follow is the direct regs from the government at [url]http://www.hcfa.gov/medicaid/hipaa/adminsim/[/url] or also check out [url]http://hipaa.wpc-edi.com/HIPAA_40.asp[/url]
Hope this helps. Mich
