Frequently Asked Questions
Is my optical retail shop covered by HIPAA?
The clinical portion of your practice (eye exams, prescriptions) is covered by HIPAA. Retail optical sales alone may not be, but most practices handle both together and should treat all patient data as PHI to be safe.
Do we need BAAs with contact lens suppliers?
If your suppliers receive patient information (like prescription data for fulfillment), yes — you need a BAA. Many automated ordering systems share patient data and require BAAs.
How do we handle digital retinal imaging?
Retinal images are PHI and must be encrypted, access-controlled, and backed up securely. Our platform includes specific guidance on HIPAA-compliant imaging storage.
