1. HIPAA violations are nothing to scoff at.
These days, the average fine stands at $20K
and can grow as large as $1.5 million for
each violation of the rules. As such,
healthcare professionals are all feeling the
pressure, trying to do whatever they can to
prevent failure of compliance. But in order
to prevent violation fines, you must first
understand which mistakes to avoid follow-
ing the HIPAA guidelines.
