HIPAA: Avoid Phase 2 Audit Penalties

Regulators have confirmed that comprehensive HIPAA Phase 2 ONSITE audits have begun and that “every covered entity and business associate is eligible for an audit” – this means YOU.

Getting chosen for a HIPAA Phase 2 comprehensive onsite audit is completely random. So, there’s really no way for you to avoid being the next victim. However, if you take specific steps now, before you ever receive your audit notification, you can avoid possible noncompliance with the audit protocol, which can lead to an enforcement action and you having to pay massive fines and penalties associated with an identified HIPAA violation.

IMPORTANT: If you deal with private patient information in ANY WAY, this session is for you. Remember that even simple, innocent omissions can result in fines and penalties. And considering that in only 6 months HIPAA audits have generated over $11 million in settlements, you can bet the number of audits conducted and the amounts of fines and penalties imposed will continue to go through the roof.
