Our department is currently in the process of updating information on
our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices statement. During research on
the internet, I have noticed that some departments are emailing a copy
of the NPP to the patient, instead of physically handing a copy to the
patient. What are other departments doing? We are currently handing
out roughly 13,000 copies of NPP annually. I have been tasked with
reducing our budget for this allotted item. Is it acceptable to just
direct the patient to our website where the NPP is posted and to only
provide hardcopies to individuals who do not have internet access?

Thanks for you help
