Many dental practices are struggling to maintain HIPAA compliance in an environment of ever-changing Federal and State regulations. 
 
The challenge comes in the robust complexity of the HIPAA laws and the time and expertise necessary to develop and implement a truly compliant program. 
 
The Final Rules are in place and the deadlines for full compliance have long-passed.  Even so, many dental practices are breaching HIPAA in a myriad of ways just in daily business. 
 
These “little” breaches would not be too concerning (after all, HIPAA has been around since 1996 with little to no effect on anyone, right?) if not for the HITECH Act and the recently appointed HIPAA strong-arm, The Office of Civil Rights (OCR).
 
The OCR has been tasked with enforcing the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, and it is taking its role very seriously, imposing random audits and BIG civil, financial, and even criminal penalties for violations.
 
The new “Random Audit Protocol” began in the latter half of 2016, and the average breach is costing healthcare providers $402 per record (that’s per patient)!  So, even if your practice only has 500 patients, well…you do the math. 
 
If your practice is not yet ready, you need to get it there, yesterday.
 
As rules become increasingly stringent and repercussions for violations become increasingly harsh, the importance of an efficient and effective HIPAA compliance program for private dental practices is evident.  The increase in HIPAA fines could ruin the average private dental practice.
 
Most private dental practices simply do not have the resources to devote to the proper development and maintenance of a system so necessary for the protection of the practice and its patients.
 
With this in mind, we help dentists protect themselves, their practices, and their patients by streamlining the compliance process and reducing the stress associated with program development, training, and implementation.
