Episode 321: [Compliance] Record Retention & HIPAA Requirements

Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we chat about record retention requirements, both under HIPAA and under state law. 

We discuss the record retention requirement for HIPAA; the actual client medical record requirements under state law; the difference between documentation of HIPAA compliance activities and maintaining client records; considerations for destroying records, (paper and electronic); how to document destroyed records; where to find record retention requirements for your state; and what should be in a client’s record.
