The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA, Title II) require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to adopt national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers. To date, the implementation of HIPAA standards has increased the use of electronic data interchange. Provisions under the Affordable Care Act of 2010 will further these increases and include requirements to adopt:

• operating rules for each of the HIPAA covered transactions
• a unique, standard Health Plan Identifier (HPID)
• a standard and operating rules for electronic funds transfer (EFT) and electronic remittance advice (RA) and claims attachments.
In addition, health plans will be required to certify their compliance. The Act provides for substantial penalties for failures to certify or comply with the new standards and operating rules.
For more information regarding HIPAA including additional provisions under the Patient Protections and Affordable Care Act (Affordable Care Act or ACA) of 2010, go to the "Related Links Outside CMS".
HIPPA Information
Smart Cards Represent an Excellent Solution for HIPAA Compliance and Support New Applications That Improve Medical Care
The presence of processing capability and memory in a smart card, along with the smart card’s ability to support multiple applications, make smart cards an efficient and flexible mechanism that can help organizations achieve HIPAA compliance while meeting the goals of patients and practitioners. Smart cards have a unique ability to make information access easier for users while at the same time enforcing the more robust security policies required of health care organizations to bring their environments into HIPAA compliance. Smart cards can represent an excellent solution to an organization’s multiple physical and electronic security requirements. Systems that use smart cards as the identity token and secure data carrier have unique benefits.
Smart cards can provide easier information access management, ensuring that users are following established security policies.
Smart cards are a familiar form factor that can be used for both physical access to facilities and logical access to information on personal computers and networks.
Smart cards can help enforce access control to health information, providing support for both user authentication and encryption of data on the card and during transmission.
Smart cards can store health information on the card, performing as secure portable data carriers that are under the control of the patient and the health care professional.
Smart cards, with on-card intelligence and processing capabilities and the ability to use standards-based cryptography, are uniquely capable of enabling compliance with strong privacy guidelines and of enforcing the privacy and security policies set by the health care organization
Smart cards provide a feature-rich platform for health care organizations to implement new applications that improve access to and convenience of medical care.
Health care organizations worldwide are implementing smart health cards. With the appropriate security architecture, smart cards can be a very valuable tool to providers, insurers, and patients alike. They can be an instrumental component of any system that is designed to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations, as well as supporting new applications that deliver clinical and administrative benefits.

In My Opinion When BSKS Price was @$2.80, ~ Wednesday, November 02, 2011 5:15:17 PM
Market Makers are very low on BSKS shares available to the trading public, the shares they do have must be borrowed from each other to fill orders. Which I've concluded from Finra's regsho short interest data.
Supera Group, has created a perfect investment structure with a low float to launch Supera’s business models, servicing varies industries with their patented technology using high-capacity data storage in a card format.
I have not seen any better share structure on the market then BSKS... Have any of you?
If Supera Group has many of the patents to this "smart card" technology... Then I say $4.20 might not be the 4, 13 & 52 Week High... But more like the new 4, 13 & 52 Week Low!

BSKS@$6.05 up 0.35 (6.14%) 11/30/2011 Buy Vol. +19614 / Sell Vol. - 9200 / Short Interest -+16,962 / Total Vol. 28,814 / 58.8% of total volume = shorted or borrowed.
How do you get a stock to do this? I think its quite simple, DON'T BE GREEDY... Keep a share structure others issuers would envy, market makers love and shorters fearful.
Most of all be the HERO for your Investors!
This is what Yahoo and Capital IQ have as the BSKS share structure... After the 1:30 Reverse Split
Market Cap (intraday): 5.15M = 851,239 shares
Shares Outstanding: 851.00K
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=BSKS.OB+Key+Statistics
I estimate the float was around 300K, currently Etrade has BSKS at Market Cap 239.2 M / Shares Outstanding 39.5 M.... which is probably correct.
But my question is how many of the BSKS 39.5 Million Shares are free trading in the float?
851K? Would be a good guess?
20111130|BSKS|16962|0|28814|O 58.8%
http://regsho.finra.org/FORFshvol20111130.txt
from fidelity ..
BSKS Volume 28,814
10-Day Average Volume 25,961
90-Day Average Volume 7,416
Thanks for the update! - fourkids_9pets

What happens when a stock has ZERO Short Interest? If your lucky it might look something like BSKS. In my opinion shorty got burnt bad betting against BSKS... From $2.50 to $5.70 with a bid of $5.70 to top it off, Shorters have helped BSKS in a very good way. Today shows Zero Short Interest for BSKS, allowing buyers to take control for another 21.79% gain... Not like they didn't control it in the first place. Ha! For the past 8 days Short Interest for BSKS = 115,837 / Total Volume = 201,474
Thanks to half the volume in the past few days coming from shorty feeling the squeeze, BSKS had just made a excellent example for other stocks on how to beat Shorters. But of course you would have to take the share structure, intellectual property, business plan, management and your investors as part of the winning formula!
