HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in Silver Spring, MD

requires your practice to carry out a risk assessment and evaluate the assessment routinely (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Additionally, your assessment needs to consist of all administrative, physical, and electronic systems within your practice.

A risk assessment is not a five-minute online list as some agencies claim. Instead, an extensive, HIPAA-approvedrisk assessment typically calls for between 3-5 hours to complete. And, if done correctly, the assessment needs to generate a “treatment plan” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But not to worry: The Digital Dentist handles all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is important for proper compliance. It will need to be performed by specialists, such as The Digital Dentist, who has been performing threat assessments and Management Plans for 5+ years.

The Digital Dentist’s HIPAACheck service features the risk assessment, management strategy, a Policies and Procedures Manual, regular evaluations, plus $500,000 of cyber liability insurance to help your dental practice stay HIPAA compliant in Maryland, Silver Spring – all for around the cost of a cup of coffee!
