Open toolHow this NPP builder is organized
A Notice of Privacy Practices has to cover six core topics: the duty to protect PHI, how the practice uses and discloses PHI, the uses that require authorization, patient rights, the practice's duties, and the contact for complaints. This builder walks through each section in plain language and assembles them into a printable document.
The notice stays in your browser until you print or save it as a PDF. Update it whenever your vendors, contact information, or workflows change, and have the final version reviewed by an attorney familiar with HIPAA.
Use it for situations like
- Standing up a new solo practice and drafting your first NPP.
- Refreshing the NPP after switching EHRs or telehealth vendors.
- Replacing an outdated notice with a current HIPAA-aligned version.
- Coordinating NPP language with intake paperwork and your telehealth consent.
FAQ
Questions therapists ask before using this calculator
Does HIPAA require every therapist to provide a Notice of Privacy Practices?
Yes. Every covered healthcare provider must give patients a Notice of Privacy Practices at the first delivery of service and post it in a clear location. The notice must explain how PHI is used, the patient's rights, and the practice's duties.
How often should I update my NPP?
Review your NPP at least annually and any time your practices change (new vendors, new telehealth workflow, new privacy contact). Make the revised notice available on request and post the changes so patients can see what changed.
Does the NPP need to mention telehealth?
The notice should describe how PHI is used and disclosed, which inherently covers telehealth sessions. Pair the NPP with a separate telehealth informed consent for the platform, recording, and emergency plan details.
Can I use this generator for a group practice?
Yes, but customize the privacy contact, vendor list, and any joint notice provisions. A multi-clinician group may also need a joint notice that explains how information is shared across the group for treatment, payment, and operations.
Does this NPP replace legal advice?
No. This builder provides a baseline structure to start from. Have the final document reviewed by an attorney familiar with HIPAA and your state privacy laws before adopting it as your official notice.
