Privacy and HIPAA Compliance/Health Information Technology
Our attorneys are highly experienced in the developing area of health information privacy and the confidentiality of medical information, including the Privacy Rules of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, commonly referred to as HIPAA, and other federal and state privacy laws. In addition to working with numerous providers to develop their HIPAA/privacy policies and procedures, we have counseled large health care trade associations and their members on the full range of legal issues pertaining to HIPAA/privacy compliance. Our attorneys also are available to provide extensive HIPAA/privacy compliance training to providers and health care organizations.
In addition, as health care has become an increasingly technological business, our attorneys have advised providers and third-party services concerning information systems privacy and the interplay between technology and corporate compliance.
