The likelihood of a fine for failing to comply with patients’ right of access regulations has increased substantially in recent years due to HHS’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) launching a campaign to stop this type of HIPAA violation occurring as this is one of the leading reasons for complaints to OCR. There have been cases in which OCR has issued substantial penalties for failing to comply with patients´ rights of access regulations – which may not only include a fine, but also the requirement to comply with a corrective action plan for two years.
