Are you actually located in Georgetown, KY?+
Yes — IT-Necessity is headquartered at 110 E Main St in Georgetown, KY. For Scott County medical and dental practices, that means the fastest on-site response we offer. When your EHR goes down mid-appointment, we're not driving in from Lexington — we're already here.
Are your IT services HIPAA compliant?+
Yes. Every service we provide to Georgetown healthcare practices is designed around HIPAA compliance — including encrypted backups, secure access controls, audit logging, employee training, and signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).
Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?+
Yes. As an IT vendor handling protected health information, signing a BAA is required by HIPAA — and we do so as a standard part of onboarding any Georgetown healthcare client. If your current IT provider hasn't given you one, that's a serious compliance gap.
Can you support our EHR or EMR system?+
Yes. We support all the major EHR/EMR platforms used by Georgetown medical and dental practices — including Epic, Athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, and others.
What happens if we have a data breach or ransomware attack?+
We deploy 24/7 monitored EDR specifically to prevent breaches and ransomware in the first place. If an incident does occur, we have rapid response protocols, encrypted offsite backups for restoration, and the documentation needed to support breach notification requirements under HIPAA. And because we're headquartered in Georgetown, our incident response team can be on-site fast.
How much does HIPAA-compliant IT cost for a Georgetown medical practice?+
Pricing depends on the size of your practice, number of workstations, and which services you need. Most Georgetown medical and dental offices find that proper managed IT costs significantly less than a single HIPAA violation fine. We provide flat monthly pricing after a free on-site assessment.
Do you provide HIPAA security risk assessments?+
Yes. HIPAA requires healthcare practices to perform regular security risk assessments. We conduct comprehensive assessments that identify vulnerabilities across your network, devices, processes, and physical security — then provide a clear remediation roadmap your practice can act on.
What types of healthcare practices do you support in Georgetown?+
We support medical practices, dental offices, chiropractic clinics, mental health and counseling practices, optometry offices, physical therapy clinics, specialty practices, and small hospital departments throughout Georgetown, Scott County, and Central Kentucky.
