HIPAA Compliance for Dentists in New Bedford, MA

calls for your practice to carry out a risk assessment and review the assessment routinely (see 45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1)). Further, your assessments must include all administrative, physical, and digital systems in your practice.

A risk analysis is not a five-minute online checklist as some agencies state. Instead, a detailed, HIPAA-acceptedthreat assessment typically calls for 3 to 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 handles all the heavy lifting for you.

The Management Plan is essential to your compliance. It should be completed 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 consists of the risk analysis, management plan, a Policies and Procedures Manual, regular reviews, plus $500,000 of cyber liability insurance to help your dental practice stay HIPAA compliant in Massachusetts, New Bedford – all for about the same price as of your cup of coffee!
