A brief explanation of how B12 contact forms fit with HIPAA compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) regulates how certain kinds of health information can be collected, stored, and shared by medical service providers. If you're a medical practice or another type of covered entity with a website, you've most likely worried about your patient contact forms being HIPAA compliant.
Currently, B12 forms are not HIPAA compliant, but there are many third-party web forms available that are HIPAA compliant and will integrate with your B12 website.
For more information and advice on how these web form providers might fit into your own HIPAA compliance plan, check out this article on HIPAA Journal's website .
