HIPAA now permits unprecedented insurance company access to the records of psychotherapists.  

To keep your most sensitive and critical data from being the subject of a records request, you must utilize the Psychotherapy Note Exemption.

This requires you to maintain a Psychotherapy Note file distinct from your Protected Health Information (PHI) file.

Will you address these demands by keeping two charts and hand writing two notes after each session?

Will you enjoy all the benefits of electronic record-keeping and a paperless office?
