Title: Shh, It’s Confidential: CMIA and HIPPA for California Marriage and Family Therapists

Course Description:

If confidentiality is the cornerstone of the therapist-patient relationship, it behooves therapists to have an accurate understanding of the laws that affect the confidentiality of patient information. What information must be kept confidential? What information could be shared without an authorization? How can we limit third-party access to outpatient information?

In this six-hour presentation, the presenter will review California and HIPPA laws regarding the confidentiality of patient information.

Learning Objectives:

1. Compare the “building blocks” of patient information and confidentiality under California law and HIPPA.

2. Describe the structure of California Civil Code § 56.10 and importance of written authorization.

3. Explain the relationship between California Civil Code § § 56.10 and 56.104 and why this relationship is so important for outpatient psychotherapists.

4. Apply the categories of “T-P-O” to patient information under HIPPA

Target Audience:
This workshop is appropriate for licensed clinicians (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, LEP) as well as graduate students, trainees or pre-licensed AMFT, ASW, APCC.
