Frequently Asked Questions
Which medical spa services are covered by HIPAA?
Services provided or overseen by licensed healthcare providers (physicians, NPs, PAs) are typically covered. Botox, fillers, laser treatments, and medical-grade procedures are covered. Pure spa services like massage or facials without medical oversight may not be. We help you determine your HIPAA scope.
Can we use patient photos for marketing?
Yes, but you need specific written authorization beyond the general HIPAA consent. The marketing authorization must clearly explain how photos will be used, and patients can revoke consent at any time. Never use photos for marketing without documented authorization.
How do we separate medical from retail data?
Maintain separate record systems or clearly delineate medical vs retail data within your systems. Apply HIPAA protections to all medical procedure records. Train staff on which services generate PHI. Consider treating all patient data as PHI for simplicity and better protection.
