Just from our experience in the credit card industry alone, we found out that many were violating basic PCI compliance standards, which in turn, directly violated HIPAA compliance standards. This sparked some further investigation on our end, and we discovered that these facilities were not just violating PCI, but were furthermore overstepping several aspects to the HIPAA jurisdiction, which they have been and are currently held accountable to.

What made and currently makes matters even more serious, however, is the fact that the Office of Civil Rights has greatly increased regulation and fines across the medical industry, with fines escalating up to $50,000 per violation and up to $1.5 million per year. This is due to the hundreds of millions of patients’ records that have been compromised over the last few years. Now 2018, hackers are indeed rampant and data breaches are a very real thing! As a result, the treatment industry faces threats from both the hackers who could damage your brand through a data breach and the HIPAA officers slapping fines on facilities due to lack of compliance.

With all this in consideration, we knew there was a need for assistance in this area. That is why we developed our all-in-one program for the treatment industry. Our program ultimately provides facilities with all the appropriate information to understand what is required by HIPAA and the tools necessary to carry those requirements out. No longer do facilities have to worry about data breaches or HIPAA audits.

Unfortunately, that couldn’t be any further from the truth! While the accreditation process with these associations are essential for the success of any treatment facility, they do not necessarily make one HIPAA compliant. In truth, they have different criteria and serve entirely different purposes.

The only way to truly know if you are HIPAA compliant is by taking a risk assessment. Generally, risk assessments can cost someone anywhere from $500-$1200. However, we offer it for FREE  for all CCAPP members because we truly desire to assist all its members in adopting a culture of HIPAA compliance and protecting their facility and patients.

Ultimately, there really is no better way to start addressing your potential vulnerabilities than by taking the assessment. It is entirely FREE and takes around 10-15 minutes to complete. Once taken, our HIPAA department will reach out with a 23-page report on your HIPAA results. Please take your first steps now toward genuine HIPAA compliance by clicking on the button below!
