Penalties assessed for violations of the HIPAA Act mostly involve financial penalties (between $25,000 per violation up to $100,000 per violation).

I began doing substance use evaluations in 2007, when the late great Bill Sheppard asked me to meet for lunch. He asked me to interview his client and write a report with conclusions and recommendations related to any substance use disorder in a criminal case. I was honored to be trusted to perform this service. He was able to use that evaluation to get reduced sentencing for his client. From that point, I began conducting substance use evaluations for family, criminal and civil court cases.

Today, though, health care is Big Business.
