The find is the latest example of a widespread problem…
How about this problem: security costs money. Insecurity has no cost at all - maybe a token fine. I just got word the auditors might hit my office shortly, but we were already HIPAA clean.

I don’t know how the law applies in this particular case, but we have been advised that breech of HIPAA could be subject to $50k per occurrence. I would not call that “a token fine.”

Yup, that looks about right. I was not aware of the 1.5 million max per year. I guess if you are big enough, that could be “token.” It would put us out of business, but we are a small practice.
