Fox understands compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) isn’t limited to hospitals and medical practices.

We provide comprehensive services focused on the proper handling of Protected Health Information (PHI) that include:

• Preparing required policies and procedures for health care providers, health plans and business associates
• Drafting business associate agreements, data use agreements for health information exchanges accessed by multiple providers, HIPAA-compliant authorizations for disclosure of PHI and access request forms to be used by covered entities for patient or plan member PHI access requests
• Providing HIPAA compliance reviews for researchers receiving or using PHI

Fox also advises insurers, medical debt collectors, health-related software providers and other entities that come into contact with PHI and can be held accountable for failing to keep it private in the event of a breach. In fact, Fox was one of the first law firms in the country to appoint its own HIPAA Privacy & Security Officer.
