What People Say About Us!

We found Nathan and Ryan via their website. We were warned by other physicians that attorneys were expensive and take too long to review your legal issues. We were pleasantly surprised to see just the opposite from Nathan and Ryan. Within a week we had a written analysis at a very reasonable price. We would recommend Nathan and Ryan to other health care providers!

Hawaii HIPAA Attorney

Health Care Legal Guidance So You Meet the Law and Minimize Your Risk

Honolulu, Hawaii HIPAA Attorney Nathan Natori was local counsel at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP when he advised members of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) Readiness Collaborative (“HRC”) at the Hawaii Health Information Corporation (“HHIC”).  Mr. Natori worked with  HHIC in understanding and implementing the various federal HIPAA standards.  Specifically, Mr. Natori provided HHIC with support for the following:

  • Providing generic forms and checklists related to consents, authorizations, notices and business associate contracts, as well as identifying additional requirements and considerations for different types of covered entities.
  • Identifying gaps and implementation risks in HHIC’s existing security and policy drafts and developing additional policies including medical research and the administration of research programs consistent with HIPAA requirements.
  • Advising on preemption issues by conducting HIPAA preemption analysis of Hawaii law and providing advice on implementing HIPAA and non-preempted state laws.
  • Providing guidance on “minimum necessary” standards and the release of information to police and other governmental agencies.

The Administrative Simplification provisions of HIPAA apply directly to “covered entities.”  Covered entities are:  (i) health care providers that engage in electronic HIPAA-covered transactions; (ii) health plans; and (iii) health care clearinghouses.  HIPAA also affects covered entities’ business associates and employee benefit plan fiduciaries and plan sponsors, entities that themselves need not be covered entities.

The functions of each entity and component need to be identified to make a covered entity determination.  It’s possible that a health system, or even a single entity, may be engaging in functions that would make it any combination of a provider, a plan, and/or a clearinghouse.  Making these determinations at the start means you can create a comprehensive and systematic approach to HIPAA compliance in Hawaii and minimize your risks. Our attorneys can – and will – do that for you.
