The HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules are a concern of every health care provider, and our attorneys are committed to helping clients avert risk through the implementation of compliant HIPAA policies and programs. We have extensive experience in helping health care providers create practical corporate compliance programs, assisting providers and business associates with HIPAA audits as well as responding to incidents involving potential breaches of Protected Health Information (PHI). We also regularly review HIPAA business associate agreements, and advise non-health care provider clients on the day-to-day issues arising from the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules as they relate to
businesses.
