MUTUAL AGREEMENT TO MAINTAIN PRIVACYMutual Agreement • September 25th, 2021
Federal and State privacy laws are complex. Unfortunately, some medical offices try to find loopholes around these laws. For example, HIPAA forbids physicians from receiving money for selling lists of patients or protected health information to companies to market their products or services directly to patients without authorization. Some medical practices, though, can lawfully circumvent this limitation by having a third party perform the marketing. While personal data is never technically in the possession of the company selling its products or services, the patient can still be targeted with unwanted marketing information. Dr. Bienvenu believes this is improper and may not be in the patients' best interest.
