If you sell or merge your practice, you may disclose PHI to the buyer or your new partners as part of the transaction.
The employment records of your employees may contain a fair amount of PHI-type information. The HIPAA Privacy Rule does not apply to information you maintain only in your capacity as an employer, but there may be state laws that prevent you from releasing any of this information without a specific signed release from the employee.
We are going to follow now with a series of questions and answers, which hopefully cover areas that we have not covered before or make things more clear. If you have additional questions after you come to the end of this program, you may contact the JCAAI office either by email or by written mail and we will try to answer your questions.
