HIPAA compliance training for your practice staff isn’t a choice — it’s mandatory.

If your practice is among the 94% of practices that submit patient information electronically (including faxing), then you are required to comply – whether you see Medicare patients or not.

Ignoring this requirement can expose you to penalties ranging from $141 to $71K per violation. And under certain circumstances, the consequences might be even more severe, including higher penalties and even jail.

To make matters worse, HIPAA doesn’t clearly spell out what your HIPAA compliance training must include. It only references general requirements such as a covered entity must train all members of its workforce on the entity’s policies and procedures, and such policies and procedures must be “reasonably designed” to ensure compliance.

So, how can you make sure that the HIPAA compliance training you provide meets requirements and protects you against violation penalties? The answer is not to do it on your own. Instead, depend on healthcare attorney and HIPAA compliance expert, Erica Beacom, JD.

Erica will present a 90-minute online plain-English HIPAA compliance training that you can make available to your entire team.  In fact, choosing the on-demand version as well allows each staff member to attend when it is convenient for them (24/7).

Check out the practical, expert advice you’ll receive by signing up for Erica’s online training:

  • Make sure your HIPAA compliance plan can withstand government scrutiny
  • Mitigate the risk of innocent mistakes leading to costly HIPAA breaches
  • Pin down HIPAA training requirements and how to most effectively comply
  • Protect your practice from a business associate (vendor) breach with proven vetting tactics
  • Incorporate the most important aspects of a HIPAA compliance program and protect your practice
  • Avoid repeat fines by having a proven action plan on standby should a HIPAA breach occur
  • More easily comply with HIPAA documentation requirements with step-by-step expert advice
  • And so much more…

So, regardless of your practice’s size, specialty, or location. If you or a related contractor sends your patients’ personal information electronically, HIPAA compliance training is required.

All it takes is a patient complaint or, heaven forbid, a breach of your patients’ personal information, and your practice is the target of a costly and stressful investigation – regardless of whether you intentionally did anything wrong or not.

Sign up for Erica’s expert online HIPAA compliance training, and each attendee will also receive a post-test to gauge their comprehension, and a certificate of completion. Both help you meet training documentation requirements, too.

Don’t assume that only large hospitals face investigation. Sign up and protect your practice today so that you don’t end up like one of the practices below:

  • GA Orthopedic practice: $1.5M for non-compliance, including lack of training.
  • FL Hospitalist practice: $500K fine, including various HIPAA breaches and training failures.
  • Solo-practitioner: $100K for neglecting basic HIPAA requirements, including training.
