Case Study: Imperial Valley Family Care Medical Group passes HIPAA audit with Compliancy Group

Imperial Valley Family Care Medical Group Passes Audit with The Guard

Imperial Valley Family Care Medical Group, a multi-specialty physician group with over 16 locations throughout California, faced a potential HIPAA violation after a laptop was stolen and the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights contacted them. The organization turned to Compliancy Group and its Audit Response Program™ and The Guard for help responding to the audit and avoiding serious financial penalties.

Compliancy Group helped Imperial Valley Family Care Medical Group address OCR’s questions, complete its internal investigation and reporting, and produce documentation showing its HIPAA compliance program satisfied the law. The vendor also supported additional OCR requests with a 384 page report, and OCR ultimately found no reason to fine the organization, sparing it hundreds of thousands of dollars in potential fines.
