A Notice of Privacy Practices built for therapy practices, not hospitals
Your NPP is the most visible HIPAA document you have: clients sign it, it hangs in your waiting room, and it lives on your website. It is also the one most likely to be out of date right now.
Your NPP may already be outdated
The honest version: the 2024 reproductive-health NPP requirements were vacated in court in 2025, and the February 2026 Part 2 changes bind only practices involved with substance use disorder programs. The far more common problem is a template notice that predates the 2013 rules or is missing required disclosure categories. The full 2026 rundown.
What a compliant therapist NPP must include
- How you use and disclose protected health information for treatment, payment, and operations, in plain language a client understands
- The client’s rights: access, amendment, accounting of disclosures, restrictions, confidential communications, and a paper copy on request
- Your legal duties, the required header statement word for word, and every required disclosure category, including the two templates drop most: organ, eye, or tissue donation, and research
- How to file a complaint with you and with HHS OCR
- Effective date and your Privacy Officer contact information
Why ours beats the free government model
The HHS model NPP is generic and hospital-flavored. Ours is pre-written for a therapy practice’s actual data flows, insurance billing, telehealth platforms, supervision and consultation, and psychotherapy-note handling, and fills in from your practice details.
