HIPPA is really not that much of an issue- you just need to have a signed
agreement from all contracting companies (and, for that matter, employees
of the office) acknowledging that the data is confidential and protected and
. . . etc. etc. etc.
All medical/dental offices should have a form (the same one that they use
for the janitors works). That said, I would never allow a disk to go to anyone
without one of the forms signed, even if it is "unreadable". I like $.07
insurance. . .
