HIPAA Policy Requirements in Virginia

A comprehensive HIPAA compliance program covering the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, and Business Associate Agreement requirements for covered entities and business associates.

Healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses (covered entities), and their business associates who handle protected health information (PHI). This includes medical practices, dental offices, clinics, pharmacies, and their vendors.

Virginia operates its own OSHA-approved state plan through VOSH (Virginia Code Title 40.1). This means Virginia businesses must meet requirements that can be more stringent than federal OSHA standards.
