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:
