I'm pretty sure HIPAA made the rule that patients must accept everything billed to insurance (or something to that effect), so I think it makes sense that they would be responsible to making sure it's enforced. Point being, HIPAA isn't taken very seriously. |

I've seen companies closed over HIPAA violations, and I've seen folks go to jail. It's totally ok to ignore HIPAA until it isn't and by then it's too late.
Some people play chicken with the federal government and some don't. As always, it is up to your particular risk profile.
