Originally published September 2005. This one-page PDF document includes clickable links to a 24-page guide on HIPAA portability provisions; shorter guides on the Newborns' and Mothers' Health Protection Act, the Womens' Health and Cancer Rights Act, and the Mental Health Parity Act; a 26-page 'Self-Compliance Tool' (an extensive checklist); a 4-page chart of required notices; and a 13-page appendix of model notices. Impressive!
