What to ask BDO

  1. Who is my named assessment team, and what's their healthcare experience?
  2. What's your committed fieldwork window this quarter?
  3. Fixed fee or variable — and exactly what breaks the fixed fee?
  4. How do you price remediation support, separately from the assessment?
  5. Can I talk to two reference clients my size?
Assessment independence. Ask whether this firm also sells implementation services for the gaps it would assess — and get the independence answer in writing.

Frequently asked

How much does BDO charge for a HIPAA assessment?

BDO publishes no fee bands publicly — assessment fees are scoped per engagement, so request a scoped quote for an exact figure.

Is BDO accredited to assess HIPAA?

There is no government accreditation for HIPAA assessors, so no firm can hold one. What matters is healthcare assessment experience — ask for references and the named assessment team.

Does BDO cover what my organization needs?

They describe themselves as: Global accounting and consulting firm; healthcare practice. They state they support HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 1, SOC 2 — confirm scope, team, and fee in a written engagement before committing.
