HIPAA / Healthcare Industry

Healthcare data is a top target for cybercriminals. From phishing emails to ransomware attacks, hospitals and clinics face constant threats because of the sensitive patient information they store.

These attacks don’t just cause data loss, they can also lead to HIPAA violations, expensive fines, and lasting damage to your organization’s reputation.

In this blog, we’ll cover the most common HIPAA breach types, real-life ransomware cases, and practical ways to reduce risk and protect your patient data.

As cyber threats targeting Protected Health Information (PHI) continue to rise, healthcare organizations must improve how they protect sensitive data.

One proven approach is using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF). Its guidelines align well with HIPAA’s privacy and security rules, helping you strengthen compliance and reduce risk.

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) includes trusted, standardized security controls that enhance HIPAA safeguards.

It helps healthcare organizations build stronger, more efficient cybersecurity programs that keep sensitive data safe from new and evolving threats.

Keep reading to see how NIST CSF and HIPAA work together to protect your healthcare data.

If your organization handles medical records or patient data in any capacity, the HIPAA Privacy Rule likely applies to you.

This rule is one of the key pillars of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and it outlines exactly how protected health information (PHI) should be handled to safeguard patient privacy.

That includes not just hospitals and doctors’ offices, but also billing companies, IT vendors, health plans, and any other third-party partners who work with PHI.

These groups are called covered entities and business associates, and they’re all responsible for following the HIPAA Privacy Rule to remain compliant.

In this guide, we’ll break down what the HIPAA Privacy Rule is, who it covers, what it protects, and how your organization can stay compliant.

Whether you’re a healthcare provider or a vendor supporting the industry, understanding this rule is essential to avoiding fines and building patient trust.

Beginner’s Guide to the HIPAA Privacy Rule

Before diving into HIPAA compliance, it’s important to start with the foundation: the HIPAA Privacy Rule. Officially titled the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, this rule is at the core of how patient data must be handled in the U.S. healthcare system.

The Privacy Rule sets the baseline for how protected health information (PHI) can be used and disclosed, who it applies to, and what rights patients have over their own health data.

If you’re new to HIPAA or just need a refresher, this guide will walk you through a simple, plain-language summary of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, plus a quick breakdown of the other key HIPAA rules you should know.

By the end, you’ll understand what HIPAA requires, who must comply, and how to build stronger privacy protections into your organization’s day-to-day operations.

What is HIPAA and Why It Matters

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to protect both patients and healthcare organizations.

• For patients, HIPAA ensures the privacy and security of personal health information.

• For healthcare providers, it promotes efficiency and accountability across the system.

Without proper safeguards, a data breach could harm both patients and providers—resulting in privacy violations, financial losses, and legal consequences.

On top of this, failure to comply can result in huge potential costs. The US Department of Health and Human Services administers HIPAA. Its internal Office of Civil Rights (OCR) enforces civil fines for noncompliance. Serious or chronic violations of HIPAA can result in criminal penalties, enforced by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

So, even if you’re only acting out of self preservation, you need to understand and abide by the privacy rule—and all of HIPAA.

HIPAA Privacy Rule Summary

The HIPAA privacy rule was the first of what would eventually become four HIPAA rules. It sets the stage for the whole Act by defining key terminology, such as:

• The HIPAA Privacy Rule applies to which of the following
  • Which entities are covered
• What HIPAA helps protect
  • Which information is protected

Importantly, these definitions guide all other HIPAA rules. But the privacy rule also includes specific regulations, namely:

• How exactly the privacy rule regulates safety
  • Which safeguards it required

A Brief History of the HIPAA Privacy Rule

Although HIPAA was originally passed in 1996, the HIPAA Privacy Rule didn’t take shape until a few years later. Because Congress didn’t issue its own privacy legislation within the first three years, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) took the lead. In 1999, HHS released a draft proposal of the Privacy Rule and opened it up for public comment.

That comment period brought in more than 50,000 responses from healthcare professionals, advocacy groups, insurers, and other stakeholders. Their input helped shape the first official version of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which was finalized in December 2000.

Key updates followed:

• 2002: The Privacy Rule was revised and finalized with clarifications on permissible disclosures and patient rights.
• 2013: The Omnibus Final Rule consolidated and strengthened all HIPAA rules, expanding the responsibilities of business associates and updating requirements to fit the digital era.

These changes have helped evolve the Privacy Rule from a paper-based standard into a modern, flexible framework that applies to electronic health records, cloud storage, and other modern technologies. Today, the HIPAA Privacy Rule continues to guide how healthcare organizations protect protected health information (PHI) in an increasingly connected world.

Who is Covered by the Privacy Rule

The Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) has prepared a covered entity guidance toolkit to determine whether or not the regulations apply to your business.

Here’s a breakdown of who is directly covered:

• Health Plans

  
  This includes health insurance companies, HMOs, employer-sponsored group health plans, and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. These organizations manage or pay for healthcare services and are required to follow HIPAA regulations.

• Healthcare Providers

  
  Any provider who transmits health information electronically is covered, including doctors, surgeons, dentists, psychologists, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and more.

   

• Healthcare Clearinghouses
  

  These are organizations that process non-standard health data into standardized formats (and vice versa), such as billing companies or medical data processors.

In addition to these, business associates, organizations that provide services to covered entities and require access to PHI, must also comply.

This includes IT vendors, legal firms, billing services, cloud storage providers, and others. HIPAA requires business associates to have formal contracts in place (called Business Associate Agreements) that define how PHI will be protected.

If you’re unsure where your organization falls, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provides a helpful toolkit to determine if you’re a covered entity or business associate.

What is Protected by the Privacy Rule

According to the Privacy Rule Summary, HIPAA protects any and all “individually identifiable health information that’s harbored, used, or transmitted by a covered entity.” This information is designated as personal (or protected) health information (PHI).

All electronic, paper, oral, and other forms of the following information are protected if they could be used to identify a given patient or client:

• Records of past, present, and future health conditions
• History of medical service encounters and treatments
• Financial records pertaining to any healthcare received

Importantly, de-identified PHI is not protected, nor is it regulated in terms of use or disclosure. De-identification involves a concerted effort to remove all pieces of information that could possibly be used to ID a client, as well as any other close connections that could indirectly ID them. A qualified statistician can verify the integrity of a de-identified document.

How the Privacy Rule Works in Practice

The most important element of the privacy rule is its codification of how PHI is to be protected.

Firstly, it specifies that PHI may only be used or disclosed in HIPAA permitted cases or when formally authorized by the patient to whom PHI pertains. Permitted use and disclosure cases include:

• To the individual – PHI may be disclosed to the individual who is the subject of the information in question, as well as certain personal representatives thereof.
• In healthcare operations – Covered entities may use or disclose PHI, internally or in concert with other covered entities providing care to a given individual, for purposes of:
  • Providing healthcare services (therapy, surgery, etc.)
  • Obtaining payment for services (through premiums, etc.)
  • Maintaining business operations (assessment, planning, etc.)

• With informal permission

  – PHI may be used or disclosed if informal permission is granted, or if a medical professional determines such use or disclosure to be in the best interest of an individual unable to consent (due emergency, the influence of drugs, etc.).

• Incidental or combined – Uses or disclosures of PHI that occur as part of or incident to other permitted uses or disclosures are, likewise, also permitted.

• In the public interest

  – PHI may be used or disclosed without permission or authorization in 12 specific purposes that benefit a public interest:

  • When required by law or court order
  • To support public health initiatives
  • To government agencies regarding abuse
  • To aid health oversight activities
  • As part of judicial proceedings
  • For investigations or law enforcement
  • To coroners and funeral arrangers
  • For bodily donation purposes
  • For medical and scientific research
  • To prevent serious health threats
  • For essential governmental functions
  • In matters related to workers’ compensation

• Of limited data sets

  – Documents containing PHI may be used or disclosed if particular identifying information is removed. The recipient of such information must enter into a data use agreement that upholds the spirit of privacy rule regulations.

Within these parameters, covered entities are also obligated to limit their use and disclosure of PHI to only the minimum necessary amount required. This means sharing as little information as possible, with as few parties as possible, within the given permitted use case.

Importantly, the privacy rule also requires covered entities to disclose PHI to its subject(s) upon request, or to government agencies in certain situations. No minimum necessary requirement applies to required disclosures, nor any disclosure made to the subject of the PHI.

Overview of the Other HIPAA Rules

While the HIPAA Privacy Rule is the foundation, it’s just one piece of the full compliance picture. There are three other major rules that every covered entity and business associate must understand:

 The HIPAA Security Rule

First finalized in 2003, this rule builds on the Privacy Rule by requiring specific protections for electronic protected health information (ePHI). It includes safeguards across four areas:

• Administrative – policies, training, and oversight
• Physical – secure facility access and device protection
• Technical – encryption, secure access controls, and audits
• Organizational – contracts and shared responsibility frameworks

 The HIPAA Enforcement Rule

This rule outlines how HIPAA is enforced, including the penalties for non-compliance:

• Civil penalties up to $1.5 million per year
• Criminal penalties up to 10 years in prison and $250,000 in fines
  The rule was updated significantly through the HITECH Act in 2009, which strengthened enforcement and required stricter compliance tracking.

 The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule

Also introduced by HITECH, this rule requires covered entities to notify:

• Affected individuals within 60 days of discovering a breach
• The media, if over 500 residents of a region are affected
• The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), immediately for large breaches, or annually for smaller ones

These rules all work together. For example, the Privacy Rule sets the standards for PHI; the Security Rule defines how to protect electronic PHI; and the Breach Notification Rule ensures accountability if PHI is expose

If you believe your private health information has been mishandled or exposed, you have the right to file a HIPAA complaint and hold the responsible party accountable.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 to protect sensitive patient data, and when those protections are violated, individuals and organizations can take action by filing a formal complaint.

These complaints are typically investigated by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Mobile devices play a crucial role in modern healthcare, facilitating patient record access, real-time communication, and streamlined workflows to improve care delivery. However, their use also introduces significant security risks. Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI) requires robust mobile device management (MDM) aligned with HIPAA regulations.

Organizations operating in and adjacent to healthcare need to be HIPAA compliant, and that includes having an incident response plan in place.

There are many approaches that work, but tailoring government-recommended best practices to your needs is a near-foolproof option.

Is your organization fully compliant with HIPAA? Schedule a consultation to find out.

The HIPAA Security Rule provides a structured framework to safeguard electronic protected health information (ePHI), ensuring its confidentiality, integrity, and availability to authorized individuals.

A critical component of HIPAA compliance is technical safeguards, which leverage technology to protect ePHI from unauthorized access, alteration, and transmission risks. These safeguards are essential for healthcare organizations to address modern cybersecurity threats effectively. This blog explores the critical aspects of technical safeguards and offers guidance on their implementation.

Stay Compliant with HIPAA Regulations in 2025
Since the 1990s, healthcare organizations and their business associates have followed HIPAA regulations to safeguard protected health information (PHI). While the core rules have remained largely unchanged, significant updates to the HIPAA Privacy Rule are scheduled for 2025, potentially adding complexity to compliance efforts.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), signed into law on August 21, 1996, introduced sweeping reforms to protect the privacy and security of individuals’ health information.

The law is divided into five titles aimed at improving the portability of health insurance, streamlining administrative processes, and safeguarding protected health information (PHI).

Before HIPAA, it wasn’t always possible for someone who had declined coverage to sign up outside of that open enrollment window.

Generally accepted sets of cybersecurity solution standards or general requirements for protecting health information just didnt exist in the healthcare industry before HIPAA.

The implementation of HIPAA policies, procedures and rules ushered in a new era for the healthcare industry, giving patients peace of mind and instilling more faith in healthcare practitioners.

Unfortunately, HIPAA compliance is not being prioritized in some healthcare organizations. These entities instead seek out shortcuts to cut costs while putting patient protected healthcare information (PHI) at risk of being breached.

These breaches and the investigations in organizations that are not in compliance with HIPAA regulations have led to hefty fines as of recent years.

In 2016 alone, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights (OCR) collected a record-setting $23 million in HIPAA fines, greatly surpassing the previous record of $7.4 million in 2014.

Thats a lot of cheddar.

To keep your organization from violating HIPAA requirements and shouldering the weight of enormous fines and sanctions from the OCR, it is imperative that your organization educates itself on the types of violations that commonly incur these fines.

Understanding where other organizations went wrong in their negligent quest for HIPAA compliance will give you much more insight into how you can optimize your quest for HIPAA compliance in the future.

HIPAA Requirements

HIPAA is a series of laws that have required health care organizations to invest time and money into training for strict compliance.

HIPAA applies to covered entities that manage certain health plans, health care clearinghouses and health care providers as well as business associates such as service providers that create, receive, maintain or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) for covered entities or other business associates.

Under HIPAA, participants could enroll in coverage if they meet certain criteria. For instance, if a marital situation changes or you move to a new location, HIPAA makes sure that you can get insurance without having to wait for open enrollment.

HIPAA covers different aspects of handling PHI such as creating, storing, transferring and sharing the data. It provides guidelines via its 5 titles and 5 rules on how to meet privacy and security requirements that will ensure the sustainable protection of your patients PHI. Without further ado, lets break down the 5 titles of HIPAA:

Title I: Health Care Access, Portability, and Renewability

Title I establishes rules on how a group plan handles a pre-existing condition. Before HIPAA, there were many people who were completely denied health insurance based on chronic medical conditions, regardless of how well the condition was controlled.

Today, group health insurance plans must follow rules regarding what’s considered a pre-existing condition and how long they can exclude coverage for these conditions.

Title II: Preventing Health Care Fraud and Abuse; Administrative Simplification; Medical Liability Reform

Title II is broken up into 5 rules:

1. Privacy Rule
2. Transactions and Code Sets Rule
3. Security Rule
4. Unique Identifiers Rule
5. Enforcement Rule

Each of these 5 rules goes into considerable depth. Title II requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers.

Adopting these standards facilitates the improvement of efficiencies and effectiveness of the nation’s health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange across the healthcare industry.

Title III: Tax-related health provisions governing medical savings accounts

Title III provides for certain deductions for medical insurance, makes other changes to health insurance law, and establishes medical savings accounts for individuals. In laments terms, Title III standardizes the amount you can save per person in a pre-tax medical savings account.

Title IV: Application and enforcement of group health insurance requirements

Title IV addresses the application and enforcement of group health plan portability, access and renewability for those with pre-existing conditions, and modifies continuation of coverage requirements. It also clarifies continuation coverage requirements and includes COBRA clarification.

Title V: Revenue offset governing tax deductions for employers

Title V includes provisions related to company-owned life insurance, treatment of individuals who lose U.S. Citizenship for income tax purposes and repeals the financial institution rule to interest allocation rules.

HIPAA Requirements and Legal Framework

To understand how HIPAA violations occur, it’s essential to know what HIPAA requires.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that mandates strict privacy and security standards for healthcare organizations. It applies to covered entities, such as health plans, healthcare providers, and healthcare clearinghouses, as well as business associates that handle protected health information (PHI) on behalf of those entities.

HIPAA introduced comprehensive rules for creating, storing, transferring, and sharing PHI, and it requires organizations to invest in training, safeguards, and documentation to remain compliant.

Here are five HIPAA rules

The Privacy Rule (circa 2000)

This rule addresses the use and disclosure of individuals health information called covered entities, as well as standards for individuals’ privacy rights to understand and control how their health information is used.

The OCR is responsible for implementing and enforcing the Privacy Rule with respect to voluntary compliance activities and civil money penalties.

A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public’s health and well-being.

The Transaction and Code Sets Rule (circa 2003)

This rule creates a uniform way to perform electronic data interchange (EDI) transactions for submitting, processing, and paying claims.

The standards inherent in this rule apply to any healthcare plan, health care clearinghouse, and/or health care provider that transmits PHI in electronic form in connection to the defined transactions.

The Security Rule (circa 2003)

This rule establishes national standards to protect individuals electronic personal health information that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity.

The Security Rule requires implementation of three types of safeguards (administrative, physical, and technical) to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of electronic PHI.

The National Provider Identifier (NPI) Rule (circa 2005)

This rule is focused on National Provider Identifiers (NPIs) which are unique identification numbers that covered health care providers must utilize during their administrative and financial transactions.

These NPIs must not carry other information about healthcare providers and must be used in lieu of legacy provider identifiers in the HIPAA standards transactions.

The Enforcement Rule (circa 2006)

This rule establishes compliance responsibilities for covered entities with respect to cooperation in the enforcement process.

These rules govern the process and grounds for establishing the amount of a civil money penalty where HHS has determined that a covered entity has violated a HIPAA requirement.

Procedures for hearings and appeals for any challenges to a HIPAA violation determination are outlined in this rule as well.

What is a HIPAA Violation?

HIPAA violations are based on the level of negligence and the amount of infractions for non-compliance. Fines increase as the number of patients and the amount of neglect increases. Heres a breakdown of the types of violations and the financial consequences that come with each infraction:

VIOLATION TYPE	EACH VIOLATION	VIOLATIONS OF AN IDENTICAL PROVISION IN A CALENDAR YEAR
Individual didn’t know they violated HIPAA	$100 – $50,000	$1,500,000
Reasonable cause and not willful neglect	$1,000 – $50,000	$1,500,000
Willful neglect but corrected within time	$10,000 – $50,000	$1,500,000
Willful neglect and is not corrected	$50,000	$1,500,000

The consequences of HIPAA violations go far beyond the financial ramifications. Organizations can lose their good standing reputation, client/patient trust, and their ability to operate a business. It can take an organization months or even years to recover from a single HIPAA violation. The three common HIPAA violations that are outlined in the following sub-sections can be mitigated when you implement an effective compliance program that works for the needs of your organization:

PHI and ePHI Storage

Sensitive patient data is termed electronic protected health information (ePHI) and includes information like patient names, addresses, social security numbers, procedure codes, birth dates, and much more.

If PHI is stored on a laptop or smartphone, those safeguards must be implemented on the respective device. Encryption is considered an addressable specification, meaning covered entities are only required to implement it if it reduces the risk of ePHI data breach.

If you lose a laptop containing encrypted ePHI, the risk of an unauthorized user accessing the data is still low. However, the use of a laptop with unencrypted ePHI takes the risk of a data breach to a whole new level.

Data Breaches

Under HIPAA, organizations are required to report breaches that impact 500 or more individuals to federal regulators and affected individuals within 60 days. OCR treats data breaches severely when it finds that they’re the result of systematic neglect.

An organization that suffers a data leak despite consistently good security practices might get only recommendations on improving them.

One which is negligent, as in this case, could be made to give up a large amount of money and demonstrate improvement in its practices.

Below are the top 10 largest healthcare data breaches (listed by size, from largest to the smallest in terms of the number of individuals affected):

Number	Healthcare Provider	Individuals Affected	Date of Breach
1	Anthem Blue Cross	78.8 Million	Jan-15
2	Premera Blue Cross	11+ Million	Jan-15
3	Excellus BlueCross BlueShield	10+ Million	Sep-15
4	TRICARE	4.9 Million	Sep-11
5	University of California, Los Angeles Health	4.5 Million	Jul-15
6	Community Health Systems	4.5 Million	Jun-14
7	Advocate Health Care	4.03 Million	Aug-13
8	Medical Informatics Engineering	3.9 Million	Jul-15
9	Banner Health	3.62 Million	Aug-16
10	NewKirk Products	3.47 Million	Aug-16

Employee Training

HIPAA requires all covered entities to provide training to their employees in following HIPAA titles and rules. Covered entities are required to train all existing and new employees on HIPAA law, as well as providing a refresher course periodically.

Failure to provide this required training could mean major penalties for your organization. Most violations pertaining to employees can easily be prevented through the implementation of HIPAA policies and procedures to ensure that all individuals with access to PHI receive the proper training on how to safely handle it.

Even if an individual is negligent and engages in prohibited conduct such as knowingly obtaining or using HIPAA-protected information without authorization, they can still face criminal prosecution.

Even if they aren’t immediately aware that their actions are prohibited under the law, they are still held accountable for their negligence under HIPAA.

Ensuring that your materials are current, manuals are updated, and that you are conducting annual HIPAA training will put your organization in prime positioning to prevent potential violations.

HIPAA Violation Cases

Many HIPAA violations are discovered by HIPAA-covered entities through internal audits. Supervisors may identify employees who have violated HIPAA Rules and employees often self-report HIPAA violations and potential violations by co-workers.

The 5 Largest HIPAA Penalties to Date include:

Number	Healthcare Provider	Amount
1	Advocate Health Care Network	$5.55 million
2	Memorial Healthcare System	$5.5 million
3	New York-Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University	$4.8 million
4	Cignet Health of Prince George County	$4.3 million (civil monetary penalty)
5	Fresenius Medical Care North America	$3.5 million

The second-largest HIPAA penalty to-date was the $5.5 million penalty perpetrated by Memorial Healthcare Systems across six hospitals and other facilities across the state of Florida. Unauthorized employees had access to ePHI through shared login credentials.

The reasons for the huge fine included failure to review access controls and examine audit logs. Credentials cannot be shared.

The July 2013 breach of more than 4 million patients confidential medical records that impacted Advocate Health Care Network ended up costing them a record $5.5 million in HIPAA violation penalties back in 2016.

This breach involved the theft of four desktop computers from Advocate Medical Groups administrative buildings along with two subsequent breaches within three months of the record breach.

The breach exposed demographic data, clinical data, health insurance information, payment card details, names, addresses, and dates of birth.

OCR investigators uncovered a catalog of HIPAA failures while investigating the 4+ million patient breaches at Advocate Health.

It was determined that Advocate Health had failed to implement HIPAA policies and procedures to control physical access to ePHI stored in its data support center. OCR investigators determined that if these HIPAA policies and procedures would have been implemented, the breaches would not have taken place.

Closing Thoughts

Patients entrust healthcare entities with their PHI, therefore it is of paramount importance that these entities must protect it against deliberate or inadvertent misuse or disclosure from internal and external sources.

Now that technologies are evolving and the healthcare industry is moving away from paper processes and relying more heavily on the use of electronic information systems, it is imperative for organizations to maintain their compliance with all facets of HIPAA.

With healthcare organizations receiving millions of dollars in fines for non-compliance, it goes without saying that the best course of action to protect your patients PHI and maintain their trust in your organizational data security is in consistent HIPAA compliance.
