HIPAA Evidence Binder
For Medical and Dental Practices
A practical guide to collecting and organizing the documents that support your practice's work under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule, so you can answer an auditor, an insurer, or the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with records instead of recollection.
What Is Inside
- Eight tabs that follow the HIPAA Security Rule, from risk analysis to breach notification
- A HIPAA compliance checklist for each tab: the documentation to keep, and why the Office for Civil Rights asks for each item
- Audit preparation: the records an auditor, insurer, or Office for Civil Rights investigator is likely to ask to see first
- A free starter tracker in Excel for your first 30 days
- Citations to 45 CFR Part 164 and recent Office for Civil Rights enforcement actions
This guide is a planning aid. It is not legal advice, a HIPAA risk analysis, or a compliance determination. HHS does not require certification of HIPAA compliance and does not endorse or recognize private organizations' HIPAA certifications.
