California Dental Privacy Laws Beyond HIPAA

California layers its own patient privacy and breach rules on top of HIPAA.

$1,000

CMIA: $1,000 per patient, no harm required

Under California's Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, a patient can sue for $1,000 after a negligent release of their records, without proving harm. Regulators can add up to $2,500 per violation.

How Darkhorse helps:a risk assessment finds the gaps, and technical safeguards close them.

30 days

California breach law: 30 days to notify

Since January 1, 2026, affected patients must be notified within 30 days of discovering a breach, half of HIPAA's 60. Over 500 Californians? The Attorney General gets a copy.
