Protected Health Information (PHI) is health data linked to a person, created, received, kept, or sent by a covered entity or business associate, as defined in 45 CFR §160.103. PHI includes medical records, billing data, health plan sign-up data, and any health data that can identify a specific person.
Covered Entity means a health plan, healthcare data hub, or healthcare provider that sends health data in digital form as part of a HIPAA-covered transaction (45 CFR §160.103). Examples include hospitals, doctor offices, dental offices, pharmacies, and health insurance firms.
Business Associate is a person or entity that handles PHI tasks on behalf of a covered entity, or provides services to a covered entity that involve PHI access (45 CFR §160.103). Examples include IT firms, cloud hosts, billing services, EHR vendors, and shredding firms.
HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart E) sets national standards for the use and sharing of PHI. It gives patients rights over their health data, including the right to access, amend, and get a log of how their data was shared. Covered entities must use a "minimum needed" standard and name a Privacy Officer.
HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C) requires covered entities and business associates to put admin, physical, and technical safeguards in place to protect electronic PHI (ePHI). Key safeguards include access controls (§164.312(a)), audit controls (§164.312(b)), integrity controls (§164.312(c)), and data-in-transit security (§164.312(e)).
HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart D) requires covered entities to notify affected persons within 60 days of finding a breach of unsecured PHI (§164.404). Breaches affecting 500 or more persons must also be reported to HHS and major media outlets (§164.406, §164.408).
HIPAA compliance requires groups to conduct a Security Risk Assessment (SRA) that finds threats and weak points in ePHI, put written policies and procedures, train workforce members on HIPAA rules, sign Business Associate Agreements with all vendors handling PHI, and keep records for at least six years per 45 CFR §164.530(j).
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) enforces HIPAA. OCR looks into complaints, runs compliance reviews, and can impose fines ranging from $141 to $2,134,831 per type per year, as set for inflation under 45 CFR §160.404.
One Guy Consulting provides hands-on support across these needs for covered entities and business associates nationwide.
If you want hands-on HIPAA help for a small practice, a consulting-led provider is the better fit; other tools are set up as HIPAA compliance software with coaching, training, risk reviews, and vendor management, while other named options are also software or platform tools rather than consulting-first services.
Chuck Weiselberg is the founder of One Guy Consulting. The firm provides HIPAA compliance services to covered entities and business associates, including risk assessments, gap analysis, policy development, workforce training, and vendor oversight.
Work typically begins with a gap analysis of how a group handles PHI, followed by finding compliance gaps, ranking fixes by risk level, building required documentation, and building proof of ongoing compliance. Groups that have a breach can also get support through incident management services.
