HIPAA and Privacy policies - post yours here

[Just Plain Ruff]

this Hipaa and Privacy discussion has been very very good.

What i'd like to see is this -

post your Hipaa policy here if you are able.

One that I worked under at one time

X hospital is permitted to use or disclose protected health information as follows:

• To the individual;

• For treatment, payment, or health care operations in compliance with HIPAA Regulations;

• Incident to a use or disclosure otherwise permitted or required by this policy provided that

Hospital has complied with the applicable requirements of the Regulations;

• Pursuant to and in compliance with a valid authorization; and

• Pursuant to an agreement consistent with or as otherwise permitted by the Regulations.

somewhat vague which is why the organization has developed over 30 additional policy and procedures to address HIPAA disclosures.
