HIPAA Homework
HIPAA is not a once a year duty. Being proactive is a major component to being compliant. This is what we mean by “HIPAA Homework.” Some examples would be:
Business Associate Management
As a part of Compliance As A Service, we take on the task of Business Associate management.
We recently had a client report that their collection company experienced a breach that exposed 1900+ patient records. “We regret to inform you that you have a major breach to report to the OCR and that we will not be able to help you in this matter as we have filed for bankruptsy.” You are on your own with breach notification letters alone going to cost $27,000 or more.
