While most lawyers have heard of the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and know that it regulates the proper handling of personal medical information, few non-healthcare lawyers have a good grasp on its requirements and pitfalls. Particularly in Massachusetts, which is the home to many healthcare companies, entities, and providers, it is critical that business lawyers know these basics so that they do not stumble over them when representing healthcare clients.
This program gives an overview of the essential HIPAA requirements that every business lawyer working with healthcare clients should know. It covers what duties a healthcare entity owes to the individuals whose healthcare information it records as well as what uses a healthcare entity can legally make of that information. It also discusses some of the common misunderstandings and pitfalls that can entangle the unwary.
