    HIPPA Patient Consent Form and Privacy Notice

    Have any of you written up Patient Consent Form and Privacy Notices? If you have, did you determine the wording or did you have a lawyer draw up the documents? What did you include in your notices?

    We've been inudated w/ "package offers" from companies that sell the pre-written forms that cover everything from consent to transmit to a HIPPA documentation log. The one I received yesterday looked pretty comprehensive, and I think it costs $249.
    I figure that there is no way anyone can come into complete compliance w/ any gov't regulation; if they wnat to find something, they can. In this case, it is so open to their interpretation that it isn't funny. In any case, I might just pay the $249, and then I can at least show them that we had attempted to comply, plus it would be much cheaper than having my attorney (who is not familiar w/ HIPPA) to research it. Did you know there are over 14 forms you have to have on hand ?:hammer:
