New medical privacy rules (HIPAA) are having a profound impact on all medical practices. In an easy-to-follow Q&A format, Ofer Zur addresses hundreds of issues about these often-confusing regulations, including: What are the basic requirements for compliance? How is therapist-patient privacy protected? Do managed care companies have a right to review my notes? Can I say the name of my patient in my waiting room? What do I need to know regarding my phone? A CD-ROM with ready-to-use forms is included.
