Tulsa, Oklahoma HIPAA Attorneys for Covered Entities

We provide HIPAA compliance services to clients in the health care industry and other entities who are considered “covered entities” under HIPAA. Our HIPAA attorneys draft and update HIPAA and state law compliant medical record releases, notices of privacy practices, patient authorizations and consents to receive treatment, and other documents medical providers typically provide patients, to ensure they meet current regulations and requirements. We also provide guidance and training to clients and their doctors, assistants, nurses, and office personnel on complying with HIPAA’s privacy requirements, maintaining confidentiality of patient records, and the requirements for releasing patient data consistent with HIPAA’s release requirements.

We have experience and provide guidance to covered entities who have experienced a breach of patients’ protected health information, whether those releases are inadvertent or the result of malfeasance on the part of an employee. We are equipped to conduct investigations and prepare a breach assessment, as required by HIPAA, and determine whether notifications must be sent to the patients or the Department of Health and Human Services. In the case of a complaint filed with the Office of Civil Rights, our attorneys are prepared to respond and vigorously defend our clients.
