Frequently Asked Questions
How do we maintain privacy in an open gym PT setting?
Use private areas for initial evaluations and sensitive discussions. Position treatment tables to maximize privacy. Train staff to speak quietly about patient conditions. Our policies include specific guidance for open treatment environments.
Do we need BAAs with referring physicians?
Covered entities (like referring physicians) sharing PHI for treatment purposes don't need BAAs with each other. However, any third-party referral management systems or clearinghouses do require BAAs.
What about home exercise program apps?
If you use apps or software to deliver home exercise programs that include patient data, you need a BAA with the vendor. Make sure any patient-facing apps are HIPAA compliant.
