The HIPAA Compliance Kit, 3rd Edition:
Understanding and Applying the Regulations in Psychotherapeutic Practice

Ofer Zur, Ph.D.

Overview

New medical privacy rules (HIPAA) are having a profound impact on all medical practices. In an easy-to-follow Q&A format based on his sold-out courses, Ofer Zur addresses over one hundred questions 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 is included, providing you with simple checklists and ready-to-apply HIPAA forms that you will be able to personalist and utilize in your practice.

Praise for The HIPPA Compliance Kit:

"Dr. Zur has ingeniously combined his extensive knowledge of practicer with his keen understanding of the implications of HIPAA. The HIPAA Compliance Kit is a practical and readable guide that addresses these federal regulations which represent the most significant change in the practice of contemporary psychotherapy. No mental health practitioner can afford to be without this book--your practice may depend on it."

--Nicholas A. Cummings, Ph.D., Sc.D., Distinguished Professor, University of Nevada, Reno; President of the Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health, Former President of the American Psychological Association
