HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in Germantown, MD

requires your practice to carry out a risk assessment and evaluate the assessment on a regular basis (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Further, your assessments have to include all administrative, physical, and digital systems in your practice.

A risk assessment is not a 5-minute online list as some agencies assert. Instead, a detailed, HIPAA-acceptablethreat assessment typically calls for around 3-5 hours to carry out. And, if done correctly, the assessment should generate a “treatment plan” called a HIPAA Management Plan. But don’t worry: The Digital Dentist takes care of all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is critical to your compliance. It must be performed by specialists, such as The Digital Dentist, who has been conducting risk assessments and Management Plans for 5+ years.

The Digital Dentist’s HIPAACheck service involves the risk assessment, management strategy, a Policies and Procedures Manual, routine evaluations, plus $500,000 of cyber liability insurance coverage to help your dental practice stay HIPAA compliant in Maryland, Germantown – all for about the price of your cup of coffee!
