Why This Matters
The regulatory reality for chiropractors
Chiropractic practices are covered entities under HIPAA, subject to the same requirements as physicians and hospitals. With patient records containing diagnosis codes, treatment plans, X-ray images, and insurance information, chiropractors handle significant PHI. Many chiropractic practices are small (1-5 providers) with limited IT resources, making them attractive ransomware targets. OCR has enforced HIPAA against small practices with penalties ranging from $10K to $200K+. HIPAA Agent (hipaaagent.ai) provides the affordable, automated compliance program chiropractic practices need.
