Questions

What is a HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices?

An NPP is the patient-facing document every HIPAA covered entity must make available under 45 CFR § 164.520 — distributed at first service delivery, posted on the website, and posted at physical service sites. It describes uses and disclosures of PHI, individual rights, and covered-entity duties.

I already have an NPP — do I need to generate a new one or can I update mine?

Both paths work, and we support both in one flow. If your practice already has an NPP that predates the HHS February 2026 revised model, you need an updated notice — the revised model integrates 42 CFR Part 2 SUD language and clarifies reproductive-health disclosures, and the compliance deadline was February 16, 2026. The output is a complete revised NPP with a "This notice supersedes our prior Notice of Privacy Practices dated X" line at the top so patients know which version is current. $49 whether you're updating or starting fresh.

What counts as a material change requiring NPP redistribution?

Under § 164.520(b)(3): new uses or disclosures of PHI, change of Privacy Officer, change of organization address, significant safeguard-practice changes, individual-rights procedure changes, and mergers or acquisitions. Adopting the HHS February 2026 revised model (Part 2 integration, reproductive-health clarifications) is itself a material change. Direct-treatment providers must post the revised notice on the website and at physical sites and provide it to patients at their next visit; health plans must provide the revised notice to plan members within 60 days.

What changed in the HHS February 2026 revised model?

The revision integrates the 2024 Part 2 Final Rule — substance use disorder record protections are now reflected in a single combined HIPAA/Part 2 notice where applicable. It also clarifies reproductive-health PHI disclosures and individual-rights request language. The compliance deadline was February 16, 2026.

Do solo providers need an NPP?

Yes — any HIPAA covered entity, regardless of size. If you transmit health information electronically in a standard transaction (e.g., submit claims electronically), you are a covered entity and § 164.520 applies.

Am I subject to 42 CFR Part 2?

Part 2 applies to federally-assisted programs holding themselves out as providing SUD diagnosis, treatment, or referral. Specialty SUD treatment programs are clearly in scope. Primary-care practices that screen for SUD without specializing are generally not.

What are Section 1557 taglines?

Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act requires covered programs to include taglines in the top 15 non-English languages of their service area, plus notices of availability of auxiliary aids and services. NPP Generator includes an optional Section 1557 taglines appendix.

What are the penalties for operating without a compliant NPP?

Civil monetary penalties under HHS OCR range from $137 to $68,928 per violation (2024 adjusted amounts), with annual caps approaching $2 million for repeated violations. OCR actively investigates NPP deficiencies during audits and in the course of breach investigations.

Do I have to redistribute after every change?

Only on material changes per § 164.520(b)(3). New uses/disclosures, new Privacy Officer, mergers, relocation — yes. Typo fixes and non-material updates — no.

How is this different from using the HHS model directly?

HHS publishes unformatted plain-text templates that you must manually customize. NPP Generator captures entity-specific details via guided intake and produces a formatted, signable PDF plus editable Word — including Part 2 additions and optional Section 1557 taglines — in under five minutes.

Is this legal advice?

No. NPP Generator is not a law firm. For state-law overlays (CA, NY, MA), multi-state operations, or active OCR enforcement, we recommend healthcare counsel review before distribution. See our About page for methodology and limitations.
