HIPPA Consulting Clients

Is Your Organization HIPAA and HITECH Act Compliant?

Wouldn’t it be better to find out now before the government comes after you in an audit, before you experience a breach, or before your patients, clients, or customers file a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services?

At EMR Legal, Inc., our experts have helped hundreds of health care providers, other covered entities, and business associates—from vendors to health care management companies to county and state governments—prepare to comply with federal and state health information legal requirements, focusing on the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) security and privacy regulations that implement the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).

Let us assist you in developing an overall security plan, analyzing risks to health information, selecting the appropriate security measures to address those risks, and writing the dozens of required policies and procedures. We can also provide dynamic, practical training for all personnel, including management, in following the HIPAA security and privacy regulations and the HITECH Act.

EMR Legal, Inc., provides a convenient, single resource that can coordinate your compliance efforts to ensure that you meet the highest standards. Upon completion of your HIPAA compliance audit, we can certify compliance.
