Frequently Asked Questions
When does HIPAA apply to EdTech?
HIPAA applies when EdTech handles PHI, such as school health records shared by healthcare providers, therapy session notes, or medical information in special education contexts.
How does HIPAA interact with FERPA?
FERPA generally covers student records, but health records from school nurses may be FERPA-protected. Records from external healthcare providers treating students remain HIPAA-protected.
What about school-based telehealth platforms?
Platforms facilitating telehealth in schools likely handle PHI and need HIPAA compliance, including BAAs with healthcare providers and proper security controls.
