The 'HIPAA Police' Are Here
Spencer Fane Sept. 23, 2012
"After several years during which the Department of Health and Human Services ... operated essentially in 'complaint-driven' mode with respect to enforcement of the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, recent activity suggests a trend toward stricter HIPAA enforcement.... The recent increase in enforcement efforts may be partially attributable to the fact that the available civil penalties increased dramatically as a result of the [HITECH] Act ... These steep penalties and settlements should serve as a reminder of how important it is to comply with the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules."
