HIPAA Compliance
Sandwire’s 5-step approach ensures proven HIPAA compliance. Trust us for secure data protection.
Why HIPAA Compliance is Essential for Your Organization
If your organization is a covered entity—such as health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, or healthcare providers—or if you handle treatment, payment, or operations within the healthcare sector, access patient data, or provide support in treatment or payment, you must always ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations. This also applies to business associates or subcontractors involved in any capacity with sensitive health information.
Non-compliance with HIPAA can lead to severe consequences, including criminal charges and substantial fines. Even if the violation is unintentional, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) under the Department of Health and Human Services does not consider inadvertent breaches as acceptable. These penalties are in addition to other legal and regulatory ramifications, which may include lawsuits and additional enforcement actions.
At Sandwire, we specialize in HIPAA compliance consulting services in Iowa and New York. Our team can assess your organization’s data handling procedures, controls, and policies to ensure they meet HIPAA requirements. We’ll identify any gaps in your practices and recommend corrective actions before an OCR audit or compliance review occurs. Our HIPAA compliance service providers in New York and Iowa take proactive steps to ensure your company’s privacy and security are safeguarded, offering technical solutions that support the ongoing maintenance of your privacy policies and procedures.
