HIPAA Compliance
for Dentists in Rockford, IL

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

A risk assessment is not a five-minute online checklist as some agencies assert. Instead, a thorough, HIPAA-acceptablethreat assessment generally requires 3 to 5 hours to carry out. And, if done the right way, the assessment should generate a “treatment strategy” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But don’t worry: The Digital Dentist handles all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is crucial for proper compliance. It should be completed by specialists, such as The Digital Dentist, who has been conducting threat assessments and Management Plans for over 5 years.

The Digital Dentist’s HIPAACheck service involves the risk analysis, management plan, a Policies and Procedures Manual, regular evaluations, plus $500,000 of cyber liability insurance to help your dental practice stay HIPAA compliant in Illinois, Rockford – all for about the price of a cup of coffee!
