| Am I subject to HIPAA regulations? |
| HIPAA is somewhat vague on the definition of covered entities and is subject to some interpretation, the general rule of thumb is that if you handle patient or medical information, you should consider instituting a document destruction program. Ultimately, if personal medical information is disclosed, you may be liable. For specific information about whether or not you are governed by HIPAA, please visit the following website for more details: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/hipaa/ |
