Health and wellness clinics must maintain the privacy and confidentiality of all protected health information (PHI) as required by federal and state laws, including HIPAA. Clinics need to have clear policies to safeguard patient data, provide notices of privacy practices to patients, and handle PHI only as allowed by law. Patient records should be securely stored, and any disclosure must follow legal rules to protect patient confidentiality.
Healthcare providers are subject to HIPAA rules when they electronically transmit health information in connection with certain standard healthcare transactions (e.g., billing). The Privacy Rule applies to covered entities such as clinics, hospitals, and healthcare professionals who handle PHI.
Yes, experienced legal counsel can assist healthcare practitioners with investigations, defenses, and remediation related to HIPAA violations, allegations of medical malpractice, or breaches of patient rights.
Yes. Your clinic can come with more legal complexities than even an experienced generalist law practice may be prepared for. Having specialized legal counsel on your side is an investment that can save your clinic from shutdowns or lawsuits down the line. When everything from advertising to patient discharge is closely governed, it pays to have specialized legal expertise at the ready.
Operating a clinic without the required license can result in significant penalties including fines, injunctions, and potential criminal charges under Florida law. Immediate cessation of operations and remediation are generally required to avoid harsher penalties.
It is critical to consult specialized legal counsel immediately. A lawyer can guide the response to any allegations, help negotiate with regulatory agencies, address compliance deficiencies, and represent your interests in administrative or legal proceedings.
