DISCLAIMER: The Addendum to the HIPAA Compliance Kit, 1st edition, is designed specifically for psychotherapists in solo private practice. It is geared exclusively to those who already purchased and own the first edition of the HIPAA Compliance Kit. It is not meant to stand on its own, as it is only an addendum or update to the Kit's first edition. It is written in simple understandable language, which intends to help you on your road to HIPAA compliance. It neither intends to be a substitute for legal or ethical consultation nor provides a state-by-state preemption analysis. The Addendum, like the Kit, courses and seminars, only expresses Dr. O. Zur's opinion and understanding of the regulations and does not claim to give definitive or comprehensive answers or the 'right' interpretation to many of the complex and often ambiguous questions which are brought by the new HIPAA regulations. Many regulations may be still changing and the material may not reflect such changes. There are also many disagreements and different understandings of the regulations. Contact your professional association, your malpractice insurance, attorney, boards and other state agencies or the federal government for more information. You will need to adapt the forms according to your needs, according to your state law and your professional requirements. It also provides a general summary of California's preemption analysis. The Addendum is copyrighted material and is intended only for the use of the person who purchases it. It is neither to be shared nor sold without Dr. Zur's written permission.
