HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in Columbia, 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 assessments need to include all administrative, physical, and electronic systems utilized in your practice.

A risk assessment is not a 5-minute online checklist as some companies state. Instead, a thorough, HIPAA-acceptedthreat assessment typically calls for around 3-5 hours to carry out. And, if done properly, the assessment should generate a “treatment plan” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But don’t worry: The Digital Dentist does all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is vital for proper compliance. It has to be completed by professionals, like The Digital Dentist, who has been conducting threat assessments and Management Plans for more than 5 years.

The Digital Dentist’s HIPAACheck services feature the risk analysis, management plan, a Policies and Procedures Manual, regular evaluations, plus $500,000 of cyber liability insurance coverage to help your dental practice stay HIPAA compliant in Maryland, Columbia – all for around the cost of a cup of coffee!
