| + | **Mar 18: CMS has announced it is acceptable to practice via __non__-HIPAA compliant platforms.** Full announcement: [[https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-professionals/special-topics/emergency-preparedness/notification-enforcement-discretion-telehealth/index.html]]. Relevant excerpt: | ||

| + | > Under this Notice, covered health care providers may use popular applications that allow for video chats, including Apple FaceTime, Facebook Messenger video chat, Google Hangouts video, or Skype, to provide telehealth without risk that OCR might seek to impose a penalty for noncompliance with the HIPAA Rules related to the good faith provision of telehealth during the COVID-19 nationwide public health emergency. Providers are encouraged to notify patients that these third-party applications potentially introduce privacy risks, and providers should enable all available encryption and privacy modes when using such applications. | ||
| + | > | ||
| + | > Under this Notice, however, Facebook Live, Twitch, TikTok, and similar video communication applications are public facing, and should not be used in the provision of telehealth by covered health care providers. | ||

| [[https://doxy.me|Doxy.me]] - Free HIPAA compliant platform for telehealth. Yes, they'll give you a HIPAA BAA with the free level. Pro level has additional optional features and is cheap. Extremely easy to use for both clinician and client. (Vanessa's recommendation: if you don't know what you're doing, just do this, it's free and fast to set up.) 3-16-20 1pm Update - working again, I was able to connect with decent video quality. -Brennan | [[https://doxy.me|Doxy.me]] - Free HIPAA compliant platform for telehealth.
