FAQ

HIPAA Questions

OCR conducts audits based on: complaints filed by patients or employees, breach reports, random selection, or referrals from other agencies. The best defense is having a comprehensive, documented compliance program in place before any investigation begins.

You need a BAA with any vendor who creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on your behalf. This includes cloud storage providers, IT support, billing services, shredding companies, and many others. Missing BAAs are one of the most common HIPAA violations.

Affected individuals must be notified within 60 days of discovering a breach. If the breach affects 500+ individuals, you must also notify HHS and prominent media outlets within 60 days. Breaches under 500 can be reported annually. I provide rapid breach response guidance to ensure compliance.

HIPAA requires periodic risk assessments, and best practice is annual review plus whenever significant changes occur (new systems, new locations, organizational changes). Documented, regular risk assessments are essential evidence of compliance in any investigation.
