In this episode of Ethical-ish, we explore the increasingly blurred line between healthcare privacy and legal ethics — and the very real risks that come with it.

Paul Bamert is joined by George Bessenyei and Tiffanny Anghel of YoCierge to unpack urgent and relevant issues facing modern law firms. Although there are great overlaps between HIPAA compliance and ABA model rules, there are other notable headlines including the rise of fraudsters posing as clients, using public accident reports to dupe law firms and file false claims (a scam YoCierge’s identity verification technology is already catching and preventing in action) and the practice of EMR companies using business models that introduce unreasonable friction and cost. (Spoiler: They are working against you to preserve their own businesses and profits.)

They also dive into why “bank-grade security” means nothing without actual ISO or SOC 2 certifications, the need to treat medical records like protected health data, and the growing role of AI in both protecting firms from fraud and raising new ethical questions around data mining and client consent.
