“How do I know if my business could face HIPAA penalties?“
Any entity covered under HIPAA can be held responsible for a breach of patient information regardless of their size or the types of services they provide. This means that your business can be large or small and still face HIPAA penalties if you have a data breach.
The types of information protected include identifiable patient data such as Social Security Numbers, date of birth and address. The Federal Government imposes monetary penalties on businesses who do not safeguard patient information.
How Much Will It Cost Me to Become HIPAA Compliant?
When examining the cost of HIPAA Compliance it is vital to look at the potential savings from future fines that could be levied. For some entities, the penalties imposed for noncompliance have been so severe the organizations were forced to go out of business. Do not allow your business to face a potential closure.

GRA Benefits provides HIPAA compliance consulting for a wide range of businesses. Our consultants will design custom documents to assess the specific needs of your organization and will create a plan to guide you through the process.
Under the Enforcement Rule there are four levels of penalties that can be imposed based on the level of liability determined after an investigation. The minimum penalty typically levied under the willful neglect category starts at $50,000. The fines increase depending on the results of the investigation all the way up to the maximum penalty of $1.5 million. If an entity has been found to have multiple violations the penalties owed may be multiplied based on the number of infractions.
The amount of the penalty imposed will be determined by information gathered during the HIPAA Compliance Audit. The facts used to determine the amount owed are based on the types of HIPAA breaches that occurred.
Once the audit is conducted, investigators will outline the following facts:
- The nature and extent of the HIPAA violation
- Number of individuals affected by the information breach
- Time period of the violation
- Nature and extent of the harm resulting from the violation (physical harm/financial harm)
- Whether or not the violation resulted in harm to the reputation of impacted individuals
- History of prior compliance of the organization
- Financial condition of the entity or associate being investigated

What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) created national standards for how identifiable health information must be protected when transmitted electronically. The provisions outlined in HIPAA were created to ensure private information is securely transmitted by health plans, health care clearinghouses and health care providers.
In order to guarantee protection of patient information, an Enforcement Rule was put into place allowing for civil money penalties to be charged to these organizations for noncompliance. The law was expanded in 2013 under the HIPAA Omnibus Rule to require compliance by business associates and subcontractors. These entities can also be penalized when a breach of private information takes place.
