Disclaimer
The training provided through NASW and Medelearn has been reviewed by various experts. However, no guarantee is provided that the information is complete and accurate. No lawyer-client relationship is created between NASW, the NASW Legal Defense Fund or Medelearn and participants in the HIPAA e-learning program, nor does the information presented constitute legal advice. Attending or completing a workshop or course about the HIPAA requirements is highly recommended to increase social workers' knowledge about the regulations and to provide additional documentation of good faith compliance. However, social workers may also need to seek information about state law provisions that may be more protective of privacy than the HIPAA standards or that may afford clients greater access to their own health records. While the application of state laws is covered in a general way, no specific state's law is reviewed. Reference should be made to the state social work board or legal counsel experienced in health law in your state.
