Riddle me this: What does the second P stand for in HIPPA? Hmmm... The answer is "Pretender" because there is no second P in HIPAA. And that's precisely my concern about the HIPAA compliance market -- especially as it relates to MSPs.On the one hand, medical offices and healthcare companies need help as they seek to comply with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). But on the other hand, I sense that there are "pretenders" in the market -- some software companies, consulting firms and "in a box" experts who promise to transform MSPs into HIPAA profit centers (practically overnight).But let's face it: HIPAA isn't easy. It includes rules for privacy, security, enforcement and plenty more. The risks for companies that manage healthcare records -- and the MSPs that support them -- are growing. This could be a record year for HIPAA enforcement actions and fines, especially since the Office for Civil Rights is stepping up audits and more.
