Navigating the complex landscape of healthcare regulations is crucial, and our products and services are tailored to assist you in comprehending the intricacies of HIPAA.

Why Is Compliance With HIPAA Important?

Covered entities that fail to protect PHI are subject to strict fines and, in some cases, criminal penalties. HIPAA compliance encourages organizations to maintain and improve their policies, which can have a positive impact on their practice. Here’s how:

Protect your patients’ confidential information — and their trust.
Avoid criminal penalties, fines, and other disciplinary actions.
Manage vendors with access to PHI.
See improved patient engagement, outcomes, and satisfaction.
Protect your practice’s reputation.

Who Must Comply With HIPAA?

HIPAA applies to the following:

Covered entities, such as health plans, healthcare providers, and healthcare clearinghouses
Business associates
Hybrid entities

Under HIPAA, certain rules have been developed over the years in order to guard the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) and establish the rights of the individuals who are the subject of that information.
