Why HIPAA Compliance Matters
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires every healthcare organization to implement specific administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect patient health information (PHI). Non-compliance can result in fines ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums reaching $1.5 million per violation category.
Beyond the financial penalties, a data breach can devastate your practice reputation, erode patient trust, and result in costly litigation. In 2025, the average cost of a healthcare data breach exceeded $10 million.
