Which policy change benefits survivors regarding mental health billing?

HIPAA now allows bills to be sent to a secure address.

Protecting confidentiality of sensitive health information is the key idea here. HIPAA supports safeguarding protected health information and allows individuals to designate secure channels or destinations for communications, including billing. When mental health bills are sent to a secure address, survivors receive only the information they’re authorized to see, reducing the risk of exposure to others and protecting privacy. The other options would either alter how or where information is kept or shared in ways that don’t specifically enhance privacy or continuity of care, making them less protective for survivors. So sending bills to a secure address best supports survivor privacy and confidentiality.
