Patients Trust You To Safeguard Their Sensitive Financial Information.
HIPAA Regulations Demand It.

AND DENTAL PRACTICE COMPLIANCE DELIVERS THE SOLUTION.

In recent years, there have been a number of steps taken to protect cardholder information from getting into the wrong hands. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) has established standards and requirements so that cardholder information will be kept safe.

Dental practices are just beginning to recognize the importance of maintaining PCI compliance, which include actions like removing full credit card numbers from patient billing and records, conducting mandatory self-assessment questionnaires (SAQs), and performing quarterly vulnerability scans.

If you provide credit card convenience for your patients, you are required by law to adhere to PCI-DSS.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a solo practitioner or part of a multi-physician organization. If you accept patient payments from American Express®, Discover Card®, MasterCard® or Visa®, you are required by law to adhere to the Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).

According to Digital Transactions (December 2008 article), 85 percent of data breaches occur at what is called Level 4 merchants – including practices that process fewer than 20,000 e-commerce transactions per year and all practices not exceeding 1,000,000 transactions per year with any one credit card brand.

Can you survive with exorbitant fines?
Almost 50 percent of data breaches are caused by human failure – a laptop with personal patient information left in a rental car, a backup tape lost in transit, inadvertent posting of confidential data online, files mistakenly tossed in an open dumpster. And now, as a result of credit card companies’ forensic software, 40 percent of breaches can be traced back directly to you – the dental practice.

The fines and compensation requirements from the credit card companies – coupled with HIPAA fines – can be substantial. Why risk it?
