Model HIPAA Privacy Reminder to Reception and Other Staff

August 18, 2025

Why you need this memo:

Your medical office staff understands the imperative of safeguarding personal health information (PHI) and wouldn’t let strangers roam about the facilities freely. But it’s easy for them to lower their guard when a former employee comes back to the practice, e.g., to pick up a final paycheck or just make a social call.

How this memo helps you:

This memo will help you deliver the vitally important reminder to reception and other public-facing staff of your privacy policies.

How to use this memo:

Adapt this memo to your office’s circumstances and distribute it whenever a staff member leaves the practice.
