Frequently Asked Questions
How do we secure our imaging data?
All imaging files are PHI requiring encryption at rest and in transit. Implement access controls on your PACS system, audit image access, and ensure secure transmission when sharing with other providers. Our platform includes specific PACS security guidance.
What are the HIPAA rules for workers comp cases?
HIPAA permits disclosures to workers comp insurers as required by law, but only information relevant to the claim. You can share without authorization for workers comp purposes, but should limit disclosure to what's necessary. Keep workers comp documentation organized separately.
Do we need BAAs with PT clinics we refer to?
No, other covered entities receiving referrals for treatment don't require BAAs. However, any third-party referral management systems, imaging centers, or other vendors that access PHI do require BAAs.
