Common questions about healthcare websites

Does my healthcare website need to be HIPAA-ready?

If your website collects patient information through forms, appointment requests, or patient portals, yes. HIPAA applies to covered entities and their business associates, including their websites.

Can I put patient testimonials on my medical practice website?

Yes, but with significant restrictions. HIPAA prohibits using protected health information without explicit written authorization. Patient testimonials require specific consent, and some state medical boards have additional restrictions.

What accessibility requirements apply to healthcare websites?

Healthcare websites must meet ADA accessibility standards. HHS has clarified that the ADA applies to websites of healthcare providers. WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the accepted technical standard.
