Do we have to provide a privacy notice also in Spanish?

[Guest cstrong]

Any thoughts regarding whether we have to provide a HIPAA privacy notice also in Spanish? The regulations appear to be silent on this issue, and I would appreciate any guidance!

We do have our PATIENT Notice translated into Spanish, but because of the Medicare and Medicaid guidelines, not HIPAA.

For our plans, we only have ours in English.
