HIPAA compliance FAQs
HIPAA requires a risk assessment, and the practical standard is at least once a year, plus any time something significant changes, such as a new EHR, a cloud migration, a merger, or a security incident. A current assessment shows where patient data lives, what could go wrong, and what to fix first. Many practices fall out of compliance simply because their last assessment is outdated.
A business associate agreement is a contract between your practice and any vendor that can access, store, or transmit patient data, including IT providers, hosting companies, and some software tools. It defines how that vendor protects the data. If a vendor touches patient data and will not sign one, that is a compliance gap. We sign these as a matter of course.
Standard email is not HIPAA compliant on its own, because messages can be intercepted or misdirected and many providers will not sign a business associate agreement for basic email. To use email for anything involving patient data, you generally need encryption, access controls, and a provider that signs an agreement, or a secure messaging alternative. We help set this up correctly.
Managed IT services means a provider proactively monitors, maintains, and supports your technology for a predictable monthly fee instead of charging per incident. For healthcare, that covers your workstations, servers, network, EHR, and clinical applications, all managed with HIPAA in mind. The goal is to prevent problems before they disrupt patient care, rather than reacting after something breaks.
Pricing usually depends on the number of users or devices and the scope of support you need, so it varies with the size of your practice. Rather than a flat figure, the better question is value: proactive monitoring, security, backup, and support versus the cost of downtime or a breach. We review your environment before quoting so the plan fits your needs.
Break-fix means you call for help only when something breaks and pay each time. Managed IT means continuous monitoring and maintenance for a steady monthly fee, designed to prevent issues before they happen. For a medical practice, the difference is fewer disruptions during patient hours and security handled continuously instead of only after an incident.
