Frequently asked questions

What happens if my practice uses non-compliant HIPAA patient forms?

Using non-compliant forms puts your practice at risk for HIPAA violations, which can result in penalties ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, depending on the level of negligence. Beyond financial penalties, you may face reputational damage, loss of patient trust, and also potential legal action from affected individuals.

Can I use digital signatures for HIPAA patient forms

Yes, digital signatures are acceptable for HIPAA patient forms provided you use a secure, compliant electronic signature system. The digital signing process must authenticate the signer’s identity, clearly indicate intent to sign, and maintain the integrity of the document after signing. The system should also provide audit trails for compliance verification.

What should I do if a patient refuses to sign their HIPAA form?

If a patient refuses to sign a HIPAA form, calmly explain the importance of the form for their privacy and your compliance. Address any concerns they have and document their refusal along with your efforts to obtain consent. This transparency helps maintain compliance and patient trust.

How long should I retain completed HIPAA patient forms?

Retain completed HIPAA patient forms for at least six years from creation date or last effective date, whichever is later, as required by HIPAA regulations. Some states have longer retention requirements, so check your local regulations. Store these forms securely with access limited to authorized personnel only.
