Telebehavioral Health Technology

For a practitioner to be HIPAA compliant, it is important to choose a vendor that will issue a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), which outlines the responsibilities to maintain protected health information (PHI).  Select a vendor, like SimplePractice (an ACA partner),  that allows you continue to practice ethically and in compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, and any state confidentiality laws and regulations. Even if regulations are temporarily relaxed during a public health emergency, our profession’s Code of Ethics directs us to follow the standards of care and use best practices when conducting professional services via technology.
