|  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.
