2026 HIPAA Security Manual with Training

Physicians, dentists, and other practitioners who submit electronic claims are classified as covered entities under HIPAA and are required to comply with its regulations. The HIPAA Security Rule specifically requires covered entities to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI).

Many healthcare facilities have basic security measures in place—such as passwords, routine data backups, and alarm systems—but lack the formal policies and procedures needed to support those safeguards. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stresses that effective HIPAA compliance requires a coordinated approach using administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect patient information.

Notably, more than half of the HIPAA Security Rule requirements focus on administrative safeguards. These internal controls include written policies and procedures, workforce training, risk assessments, and ongoing documentation to demonstrate compliance.
