HIPAA Compliance and IT Services
HIPAA compliance and security go hand-in-hand to protect sensitive healthcare information for providers and their patients. Under federal HIPAA regulation, you are required to have specific policies in place to protect PHI, covering both the administrative standards of the Privacy Rule and the cyber-security requirements of Security Rule. Using an IT Provider to ensure you address required security standards, as well as an effective compliance solution to handle the administrative and privacy aspects, will give your business the tools you need to keep your data safe!

That’s why we have teamed up with Compliancy Group to offer complete managed HIPAA services for your HIPAA compliance and security needs.

HIPAA IT Compliance Q & A's
-
Does HIPAA Apply to all businesses?
The complete answer is far-reaching and complex. However, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act points to the portability of health insurance and the accountability of health plans. So, to simplify, HIPAA applies to the bulk of workers, health insurance providers, and employers who sponsor employee health plans.
-
Who investigates HIPAA violations?
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is responsible for enforcing the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules.
-
What is a typical HIPAA violation for employers?
Any circumstances where an employee's health information have, without their consent, fallen into the wrong hands, whether deliberately or accidentally. Common violations are related to failures to secure and encrypt employee health data. This is typical in part because there are so many different ways for this to happen.
-
Can an employer ask employees for details about their illness?
An employer actually can ask an employee for a doctor's note or other health information if they need the information for sick leave, workers' compensation, wellness programs, or health insurance.
-
What is the range of penalties for a HIPAA violation?
There are four levels of violation severity. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) prefers non-punitive resolutions. However, if there are multiple violations due to willful neglect, financial penalties may range from $100 per violation to $50,000.

When must a HIPAA breach be reported?
Any breach of unsecured protected health information must be reported to the impacted individuals within 60 days of the discovery of a breach.
