Frequently asked questions

What does a HIPAA breach cost a small practice?

The direct costs are notification, forensic investigation, credit monitoring and remediation, but for most small practices the larger figures are regulatory penalties and lost patients. The calculator estimates from your own record count and patient value rather than a headline industry average.

What are the HIPAA penalty tiers?

Civil monetary penalties are tiered by culpability, from a breach the covered entity did not know about and could not reasonably have known about, through reasonable cause, up to wilful neglect that is corrected and wilful neglect that is not. The applicable amounts are adjusted for inflation, so confirm current figures with HHS rather than relying on a secondary source.
