HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) forms should be signed whenever a patient is treated by a healthcare provider for the first time or when there are significant changes in privacy practices or policies. Additionally, they should be updated whenever there are changes in the patient's information or if the healthcare provider revises their privacy practices. Regular training and reminders about HIPAA compliance should also be provided to staff to ensure ongoing adherence.

What is the link between patient rights and HIPPA?

HIPPA is the health insurance portability and protection act. Basically, if you change or lose your job, your health insurance plan is protected by HIPPA. You also do not need to explain pre-existing health issues to a new employer under HIPPA. That is the portability function of the act. Obviously, you have patient rights and HIPPA will cover them while you are in between jobs.

Can an employer make you have bloodwork in order to continue employment?

Yes the employer can request it, but they must set forth why they are doing it and what confidentiality measures will be taken. GINA/HIPPA/ADA all pose significant and uncharted territory in this area. The employer should disclose exactly what the blood work is being used for but you should also review your Employee Handbook and any paperwork you've signed.
