In order to report a HIPAA violation, you can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights. Note that they only investigate claims against âcovered entitiesâ like your doctor, hospital, or health care provider.
HIPAA also requires you to obtain patientsâ written acknowledgement that notice has been received and file the acknowledgement in the patient record. A patientâs refusal to sign the acknowledgement should be documented and filed in the patient record. A sample Notice of Privacy Practices can be downloaded here. It is intended as a guideline only and should be tailored to reflect your practice policies and your stateâs privacy laws. State privacy laws should continue to be followed if they are more stringent than the HIPAA regulations.
