At PrivaPlan Associates, we start with our customer’s needs. By focusing on our customer’s concerns, we can craft a solution that delivers a better outcome. 

PrivaPlan’s innovative solutions have been field-tested since the HIPAA Privacy Rule took effect in 2003, and shortly thereafter when the Security Rule required conducting HIPAA Security Risk Analysis.

Our Founders

In 2001 David Ginsberg, Leslie Berkeyheiser, (the late) Harry Smith, and Leia Ginsberg founded PrivaPlan Associates because they saw a way to support healthcare providers with the knowledge of emerging HIPAA regulations. They wanted to provide exceptional services for compliance standards and, in the process, became industry leaders. PrivaPlan remains a forerunner in HIPAA consultancy and is widely respected for their expertise in the healthcare industry.

As President of PrivaPlan Associates, David Ginsberg has shaped the company to be what it is today: committed, ethical, and exceptional. Mr. Ginsberg has more than thirty-five years of experience in the healthcare industry. He has practical real-time knowledge about the realities of compliance in the physician/hospital sector, as well as health plans and the numerous vendors that support the healthcare industry. PrivaPlan’s expertise has expanded to encompass emerging data governance and cybersecurity aspects of our current daily lives.

Mr. Ginsberg is a designated HIPAA and electronic health records consultant to the Colorado Rural Health Center and other associations. He provides general compliance advice to many organizations.
