Consequences for HIPAA violations can often be quite harsh. If someone has breached the HIPAA privacy regulations – even without any malicious intent, civil penalties are applicable: $100 per violation for unawareness, a minimum of $1,000 for reasonable cause, a minimum of $10,000 if willful neglect is present and then rectified, and finally, a minimum of $50,000 for individuals who act with willful neglect and ignore the issue.

Acupuncturetoday.com's Acupuncturist Density Maps have been revised to give viewers a more accurate portrait of the profession. A new program has allowed for the density maps to be updated weekly instead of monthly. This lets acupuncturists who are looking to open a new office or relocate find out how many practitioners are in their area. The density maps can also be used by recent graduates who want to open an office in an underserved location.
