HIPAA Privacy and Security

Our attorneys offer a full range of services designed to assist clients in complying with the numerous and complex privacy and security requirements of HIPAA. Our HIPAA services include:

  • Structuring HIPAA compliance programs tailored to clients’ operational needs
  • Developing HIPAA privacy and security policies and procedures
  • Conducting HIPAA training programs
  • Performing HIPAA preemption analyses of state health information privacy laws
  • Advising clients on day-to-day HIPAA compliance issues such as responding to subpoenas for medical records
  • Addressing the applicability of HIPAA to employee benefit plans
  • Integrating HIPAA requirements into existing corporate compliance programs
  • Advising clients concerning the impact of HIPAA on marketing and research activities

To assist our clients in efficient and cost-effective compliance with the HIPAA privacy requirements, we developed a HIPAA Privacy Manual. Our manual is a comprehensive HIPAA compliance tool that contains all necessary HIPAA privacy policies, procedures and forms, including business associate agreements. Our manual is designed to be implemented by clients with minimal additional legal assistance and can be easily customized to meet the needs of a variety of clients, such as hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, physicians and health care clearinghouses.
