Frequently Asked Questions
Who needs to be HIPAA compliant?
HIPAA applies to covered entities (healthcare providers, health plans, and clearinghouses) and their business associates. If your organization creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information (PHI), you likely need HIPAA compliance.
How long does it take to become HIPAA compliant?
Initial HIPAA compliance typically takes 12-16 weeks depending on your organization's current state. This includes gap assessment, policy development, security implementation, and the required security risk assessment. HIPAA compliance is ongoing and requires annual assessments.
What is a Security Risk Assessment (SRA)?
The SRA is a required annual analysis of potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI. It evaluates your security measures and helps identify where additional safeguards are needed.
Do I need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
Yes, HIPAA requires covered entities to have signed BAAs with all business associates who handle PHI on their behalf. Business associates must also have BAAs with their subcontractors who access PHI.
What are the penalties for HIPAA non-compliance?
HIPAA violations can result in civil penalties ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with an annual maximum of $1.5 million per violation category. Criminal penalties can include fines up to $250,000 and imprisonment up to 10 years for knowing violations.
