HIPAA Blog

[ Tuesday, January 14, 2020 ]

 

Buck, a HR/benefits consultancy, has just completed a survey of HIPAA compliance among company health plans, and the results are not surprising to those of us in the space.  Big problems with conducting risk assessments, ensuring business associate agreements are in place, regular employee training, and adopting and reviewing policies and procedures keep popping up.  There's a solid one half to two thirds that show good, consistent compliance; and this is employee health plans, not entities that are HIPAA covered entities by virtue of being in the healthcare business, so some slippage is to be expected (at least I hope the healthcare industry participants are better than this).  But given that compliance really isn't that hard, it's still distressing.
