Sorry--I was way off about what HIPAA is an acronym for. It is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The privacy part of the act is now going into effect.
The Coalition for Mental Health Professionals and Consumers has a newsletter, with articles on the HIPAA privacy rules. Below is the link. See especially page 26 to 27, article by Dr. Mosher on psychotherapy privacy rules.

BTW, I find the CMHPC a great resource organization. Their web site is www.nomanagedcare.org. Great name, yes? They also have good info on dealing with managed care hassles.
