Civil monetary penalties for HIPAA violations

Answer

Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), civil monetary penalties (CMPs) for violations depend on the level of culpability (ranging from unknowing to willful neglect). The standard tiers adjusted for inflation generally fall into a range starting from $100 up to $50,000 or more per violation, depending on the severity and whether it was corrected. Therefore, the option '$100 to $50,000 per violation' is the correct answer.
