Once the provider becomes a client, HPPM can also provide support and monthly updates services.

HPPM President, Dr. Loewy explains, "What the survival kit does, beyond helping to bring your practice into federal compliance, is to help you build a full defense against future litigation. The good news is that, with the survival kit, you will be able to become and maintain compliance with minimal cost and relatively nominal effort. The kit will provide you with all the tools and examples to bring your practice into compliance without having to become a HIPAA authority." Dr. Loewy can also deliver HIPAA explanatory seminars.
