Healthcare is the most-attacked industry in America. Ransomware groups specifically target hospitals, clinics, and practices because patient data is valuable and downtime means lost lives and revenue. HIPAA violations carry fines from $100 to $1.5 million per incident. A single breach exposing 500+ patient records triggers mandatory OCR reporting, public disclosure, and often lawsuits. And on top of all this, you still need to keep your EHR running, your patient portal secure, and your front desk productive.
inTech Consulting specializes in healthcare IT because we understand the stakes. Our team knows the HIPAA Security Rule cold. We support the EHR/EMR systems you use — Epic, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Athenahealth, NextGen, Allscripts, Practice Fusion, and others. We know how to design HIPAA-compliant networks that pass audits. And we know how to do all of this without disrupting patient care. Your patients depend on your technology. We make sure it doesn't let them down.

Goal
Zero Audit Findings
A 60-person Pacific Northwest medical practice with three locations receives notice of an upcoming HIPAA audit — with only four months to prepare. Practices in this position often have no documented Security Risk Assessment, outdated policies, no formal staff training program, and no clear picture of whether their technical controls meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements. Non-compliance can carry fines reaching into the millions per violation, plus the risk of patient lawsuits — exactly why practice managers in this spot lose sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions
HIPAA requires three categories of safeguards for any practice handling ePHI: Administrative (policies, risk assessments, training, BAAs), Physical (facility access controls, workstation security, device disposal), and Technical (encryption, access controls, audit logs, automatic logoff). Practices also must conduct annual Security Risk Assessments, report breaches affecting 500+ patients to HHS, and maintain documentation for six years. inTech builds and maintains all of these requirements for you.
A typical 25-person Pacific Northwest medical practice invests $3,500–$6,000 per month ($140–$240 per user per month) for fully-managed HIPAA-compliant IT including 24/7 monitoring, unlimited helpdesk, EHR support, endpoint security, encrypted backups, and ongoing compliance monitoring. A separate one-time HIPAA readiness engagement (if needed) runs $10,000–$18,000.
inTech's healthcare cybersecurity program is designed to prevent ransomware before it spreads — our EDR automatically contains suspicious processes, our SOC monitors 24/7 for indicators of compromise, and we maintain offline, tested backups that ransomware can't reach. If an incident does occur, we follow documented incident response procedures: contain, eradicate, recover, and post-incident review. We coordinate with your cyber insurance carrier, legal counsel, and HHS for required breach notification. Tested backup/DR ensures you can restore operations — without paying ransom.
Almost certainly yes. Our team has hands-on experience with all major EHR/EMR platforms used in the Pacific Northwest — Epic, Cerner, eClinicalWorks, Athenahealth, NextGen, Allscripts, Practice Fusion, Kareo, DrChrono, SimplePractice, TheraNest, and more. For dental practices we support Dentrix, Eaglesoft, OpenDental, and Curve Dental. We don't replace your EHR vendor's support, but we handle the infrastructure, integrations, backups, user access, and network performance that keeps these systems running.
Yes. HIPAA requires a BAA between a covered entity and any Business Associate that handles ePHI — including IT providers. inTech signs a comprehensive BAA with every healthcare client, committing to HIPAA Privacy and Security Rule obligations, breach notification responsibilities, and subcontractor requirements. Our BAA is reviewed by healthcare attorneys and meets all OCR requirements.
HIPAA fines range from $100 to $1.5 million per violation category per year, depending on the level of culpability: unknowing violations, reasonable cause, willful neglect (corrected), or willful neglect (not corrected). Beyond fines, breaches affecting 500+ patients require public disclosure, often lead to civil lawsuits, and damage practice reputation. The cost of proper HIPAA compliance is dramatically less than the cost of even one moderate breach.
