HIPAA Compliance Certification Simplified
Why is HIPAA Compliance worth your time?
While HIPAA compliance may seem like a hassle, it’s actually in your patients’ best interest to ensure their data is secure. If you don’t comply with HIPAA regulations, you could face severe penalties including fines up to $1.5 million per violation and prison time.
By keeping your practice compliant, you can rest easy knowing that you are doing everything in your power to protect your patients’ sensitive information from being used inappropriately or accessed by unauthorized parties.
What is HIPAA Compliance?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA] is a federal law that requires health care providers to protect the confidentiality of patient health information. HIPAA compliance means that health care providers must take steps to ensure that patient health information is kept private and secure.
HIPAA compliance is a complex and ever-evolving process, but it is essential to protecting the confidentiality and security of patient health information.
