An Arizona behavioral health provider had a solid HIPAA training program—for full-time staff only.
But one part-time intake coordinator never got the training. When they emailed patient info without encryption, it triggered an OCR investigation.
🚨 What Happened:– PHI sent via unsecured email– Employee lacked training and policy knowledge– OCR issued a $70,000 fine
📉 The Fallout:– Corrective action plan– Monthly compliance check-ins– Major staff turnover
✅ How to Avoid It:– Train every employee (not just full-time)– Document all education sessions– Use secure platforms for all communications
