Well,well, well... now we get to see if HIPAA law will be applied equally to these 15 renegade agents that apparently didn’t just tiptoe across the law but took a bulldozer and demolished the HIPAA “safeguard”.
Doc’s are facing penalties for patient info stolen/lost/misplaced from their computers to the tune of:
$1.5 MILLION in penalties for “Individual did not know or would not have known” that they even committed an offense
$1.5 million and $50k per offense for “ willful cause but not due to willful neglect”
Physicians were extorted to go digital and now we are penalized for going digital.
The crap just keeps piling on.
