Webinar: From Panicked to Prepared: How to Reply to a HIPAA Audit

Posted By Steve Alder on Jun 5, 2023

The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has conducted two rounds of HIPAA audits on covered entities and business associates to assess compliance with the HIPAA Rules. OCR investigates all breaches of 500 or more records to determine if they were caused by noncompliance, and may also initiate compliance reviews for smaller breaches and in response to complaints about potential HIPAA violations. If you are contacted by OCR and told you have been selected for an audit or compliance review, it is natural to be concerned but there is no need to panic if you are prepared.

On April 27, 2023, Compliancy Group is hosting a webinar where attendees will learn about the ins and outs of OCR audits and how you should respond if you are selected for an audit or compliance review. Compliancy Group will take you through the steps you need to take to ensure everything is aligned and fully documented, which will allow you to respond quickly and efficiently to any document requests and will ensure you are properly prepared for an on-site inspection. During the webinar, Compliancy Group will provide real-life examples of audits and, by the end of the webinar, you should have peace of mind that if you are ever audited for HIPAA compliance, you will be well prepared and your business will be protected.

The webinar will be hosted by Liam Degnan, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Compliancy Group. Liam Degnan has 8+ years of experience in risk management, SaaS sales, and regulatory compliance in the healthcare space. As Compliancy Group’s Director of Strategic Initiatives, he advises healthcare decision-makers, behavioral health providers, and HIPAA business associates and speaks on a variety of platforms and topics, with an emphasis on simplifying the complex HIPAA regulations.
