Maintaining HIPAA compliant payment processing can be a major headache, but failure to do so can be catastrophic. Healthcare and medical services providers are prime targets for those looking to steal sensitive health information. It is essential to protect and secure personal data for your business, practice partners, and your patients.

HIPAA and Compliance Audits

HIPAA compliance audits are required by federal law, and are based on OCR (Office of Civil Rights) protocols that are continuously updated and enforced. HIPAA has specific audit guidelines, safeguard requirements, and consequences for non-compliance.

HIPAA guidelines are focused on policies, training, and processes. All health care providers need to make sure they are meeting these requirements and verifying they are HIPAA compliant on a regular basis.

The Penalties for Non-Compliance

HIPAA holds healthcare providers accountable for protecting patient information under federal law. Failure to meet HIPAA compliance guidelines can result in significant fines, and potentially even jail time. Regular review of your records, payment processing and data security is recommended.
