HIPAA Compliance
for Dentists in Erie, PA

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

A risk analysis is not a five-minute online list as some companies state. Rather, a thorough, HIPAA-acceptedrisk assessment normally calls for between 3-5 hours to carry out. And, if done properly, the assessment needs to 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 crucial for proper compliance. It needs to be completed by experts, such as The Digital Dentist, who has been performing risk assessments and Management Plans for over 5 years.

The Digital Dentist’s HIPAACheck service consists of 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 Pennsylvania, Erie – all for about the same price as of a cup of coffee!
