Frequently Asked Questions
Does selling health products require HIPAA compliance?
Generally no. Selling health products doesn't make you a covered entity. HIPAA applies if you're handling PHI for covered entities, like processing claims or managing patient records.
What about health-related subscription services?
Subscription services for medications, medical devices, or telehealth may trigger HIPAA if partnering with covered entities. Direct-to-consumer wellness products typically don't require HIPAA.
How do we handle health data that isn't PHI?
Consumer health data not from covered entities isn't PHI under HIPAA. However, state laws (Washington My Health My Data Act, California CCPA) may still impose privacy requirements.
