Frequently asked questions about HIPAA-compliant forms
What is HIPAA?
HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act—a federal law enacted in the United States in 1996.
HIPAA aims to protect the privacy and security of individuals’ health information. It establishes standards for the electronic exchange, privacy and security of health information, including medical records and other personally identifiable health information.
HIPAA applies to healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, as well as their associates who handle protected health information (PHI).
What is a HIPAA-compliant form?
A HIPAA-compliant form is a document or electronic form that adheres to the privacy and security requirements outlined in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. HIPAA-compliant forms are designed to collect and handle PHI in a way that ensures the data’s confidentiality, integrity and availability.
If the form is used by a business associate—a third-party entity that handles PHI on behalf of a covered entity—then a business associate agreement (BAA) should be in place to ensure the business associate also complies with HIPAA requirements.
Who needs HIPAA-compliant forms?
The following entities may require HIPAA-compliant forms:
- Healthcare providers, including doctors, hospitals, clinics, dentists, psychologists, chiropractors, nursing homes, and other healthcare professionals who collect and maintain PHI.
- Health plans, such as health insurance companies, HMOs, Medicare, Medicaid and other entities that provide or pay for healthcare services.
- Healthcare clearinghouses, which are entities that process nonstandard health information into standard formats, such as billing services or claims processing companies.
- Business associates, or third-party entities that handle PHI on behalf of a covered entity.
Not all forms used by these entities need to be HIPAA-compliant. Only forms that collect, transmit or store PHI need to adhere to HIPAA requirements.
Do online healthcare forms need to be HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. Any forms that collect, transmit or store PHI must comply with HIPAA, including online healthcare forms.
Before implementing online healthcare forms, organizations must ensure their forms vendor has appropriate safeguards in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of PHI.
