HIPAA Policies and Procedures Template

Individual patient privacy has always been an important issue. This policy is designed to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).  The relationship this practice has with its patients is a professional one which is absolutely confidential, and it is essential that it be protected. 

This policy is designed to give guidance on how your staff may use or disclose PHI once it has been determined that the use or disclosure is permissible.
