How to use this calculator
Start with your organization type and size, then toggle which 2026 Security Rule controls you already have in place. The calculator subtracts the controls you already run and adds the ones you don’t, then applies telehealth, Part 2, HRSA, and multi-state overlays where they apply. The output is an annual range — real quotes depend on where your gaps are and how much work your team wants to keep in-house.
For context on how budgets look across common scenarios, see our HIPAA compliance cost guide, the FQHC cost breakdown, the CHC buyer’s guide, and the 2026 risk assessment buyer’s guide. For rural and critical access organizations specifically, start with the rural hospital guide, the CAH guide, and the CHC SRA methodology.
