Helen is known to many as a “go-to” attorney for legal guidance on HIPAA, HITECH, state privacy laws, and electronic Health Information Exchange (HIE) and is well-regarded for her work with the legal aspects of health information exchanges, HIPAA law, and 42 CFR Part Two for privacy and security law around healthcare information regarding substance abuse treatment. A trusted advisor, Helen now represents some of the most cutting-edge and sophisticated HIEs, RHIOs, and ACOs in the nation.

Helen and Ray Barrett met for one of our "Telehealth Facts Friday" sessions on Facebook Live. Watch the full interview for answers to frequently asked questions about the legal aspects of telehealth care, including:

  • Malpractice insurance that might be needed when you are providing telehealth outside of the state in which you are licensed

  • Continuity of care
  • Recommendations in terms of vetting attorneys for telehealth services: start with your state and search for experience in both the healthcare and regulatory arena
