HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in Springfield, MA

requires your practice to perform a risk assessment and review the assessment on a regular basis (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Further, your assessment must include all administrative, physical, and electronic systems utilized in your practice.

A risk analysis isn’t a 5-minute online list as some agencies assert. Rather, an extensive, HIPAA-acceptedrisk assessment usually calls for between 3-5 hours to finish. And, if done properly, the assessment should generate a “treatment strategy” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But not to worry: The Digital Dentist does all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is essential for proper compliance. It will need to be performed by specialists, like The Digital Dentist, who has been conducting threat assessments and Management Plans for more than 5 years.

The Digital Dentist’s HIPAACheck service incorporates the risk assessment, management plan, a Policies and Procedures Manual, regular reviews, plus $500,000 of cyber liability insurance coverage to help your dental practice stay HIPAA compliant in Massachusetts, Springfield – all for about the same price as of a cup of coffee!
