HIPAA requires that healthcare practices take certain
steps, and provides for steep penalties for those that do not comply.
Under HIPAA, Patients are now given new fundamental rights, including:
-
the right to inspect and/or obtain copies of their medical record
-
the right to request amendments to their record.
-
the right to request restrictions on the disclosure of their protected health information
-
the right to ask practices to communicate with them in a certain manner
-
the right to ask practices for a log of who has accessed their protected health information
Our forms were
created with the understanding that running a healthcare practice is a
difficult job, and that added burdens practices can have serious
negative effects. Best of all, the forms are easy to use, and will help
meet the new federal requirements.
