What is the penalty for a HIPAA violation? HIPAA violations are expensive. The penalties for noncompliance are based on the level of negligence and can range from $100 to $50,000 per violation (or per record), with a maximum penalty of $1.5 million per year for violations of an identical provision. Violations can also carry criminal charges that can result in jail time.
Now that Business Associates are directly liable for compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule, they could also receive fines from OCR. Depending on who is responsible for a security breach both the CE and BA might be fined if both are found responsible.
