Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we’re talking about HIPAA compliance with phone services in group practice. 

We discuss VoIP, cellular, and landline services; what is subject to the HIPAA Security Rule; how to get a BAA with your phone service provider; phone service providers we recommend; porting phone numbers; managing phone service for a team; and implications for the end of the Public Health Emergency.
