Hello All!
I don't belive

is/will be translating all of our HIPAA-related patient correspondence

On our notice we have listed detailed information on who to contact at our
office in the event of a complaint. We also state that the patient may
complain directly to the U.S. Secretary of DHHS.
1. Does that need to be listed?(seems like I remember it has to be on the
NPP)
2. Do we need to

I survived another list serve about this same question. We do have to say in the Notice that they can complain directly to the Secretary. But the regs do not say you have to list the contact info for them (you do for your organization.)

Our practice is family practice. We contract in a LCSW who uses our charts for her progress notes. I understand that mental health is handled differently than that of a PCP as far as authorizations for release of info. (we need specific auth to release). I also remember reading somewhere that

my extension changes, the NPP won't have to and we wouldn't have to send it out

It strikes me as an attorney who represents ERISA governed health plans
that the NPP can be considered a material modification to the health

may just list the title of the person in your office who is responsible for

The plain language requirement for the NPP incorporates regulatory

material element of the population you serve. I did the research well over a
year ago so don't recall the citations, and don't have time to dig it up

I cited the response that follows regarding

John,
I don't agree that the plain language requirement of the privacy
regulations requires translation of the NPP into other languages.
In its discussion of the plain language requirement in the preamble to
the final privacy regulations DHHS notes that Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act -- a
