Cybersecurity & HIPAA

Each year, healthcare providers are forced to pay millions of dollars to cybercriminals who steal their Protected Health Information (PHI) and then threaten to sell it on the Dark Web. Cybersecurity incidents like ransomware attacks can not only be costly, but disruptive to business, and harmful to your practice's reputation. 

We represent physicians and physician practices in connection with a wide array of cybersecurity and HIPAA matters including incident response, breach investigations by government agencies such as HHS-OCR, and defending breach-related litigation, including class action lawsuits. If you experience a breach, we will work with you throughout the entire post-breach process to ensure that you comply with various federal and state laws and regulations and notification deadlines. We also work closely with cybersecurity experts who can conduct a forensic investigation and ensure that your system is no longer compromised. 

But, you don't have to wait until you have a problem to reach out. We also counsel physician practices on how to develop and implement cybersecurity policies and procedures to protect against bad actors and, hopefully, avoid the costs and stress associated with a breach.
