Creating an accurate Notice of Privacy Practices for your office.

Tuesday, May 8, 2018

HIPAA requires offices to display a Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) in a place where it may be viewed by all patients. The Department of Health & Humans Services has specific requirements for NPPs which include naming a Privacy Officer and listing their contact information. Various online versions currently exist, but the best way to produce the most accurate up-to-date version is to go straight to the source, the website for the Department of Health & Humans Services. Simply fill out the required information in the purple squares and print your copy.

Links to both 'Layered' and 'Full' versions of the NPP Provider Documents.
