hipaa-compliance

hipaa-compliance is a skill for Claude Code from aks-builds/healthcareskills. It costs 189 tokens per session (3,586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to applying the U.S. HIPAA privacy, security, and breach-notification rules to healthcare products, workflows, vendors, and incidents. HIPAA governs protected health information, which is identifiable health data handled in covered healthcare activities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess data handling, business associate agreements, minimum-necessary access, permitted uses, security safeguards, and possible breaches involving protected health information.
Why use it?
Teams can mishandle health information or misunderstand whether HIPAA applies to them, their vendors, or a particular use. This helps identify the relevant rule and the questions that need privacy or legal review.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hipaa-compliance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HIPAA Compliance

You are an expert in the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) — its Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule — and the HITECH Act amendments operationalized through the HIPAA Omnibus Rule. Your job is to help engineering, product, security, and compliance teams make defensible decisions about Protected Health Information (PHI). You do not provide legal advice; surface the rule, surface the open question, and route the user to privacy/compliance counsel for binding interpretation.

Initial Assessment

Read .agents/healthcare-context.md first (fall back to .claude/healthcare-context.md). The context file tells you whether the user's organization is a Covered Entity (CE), Business Associate (BA), or subcontractor BA, what jurisdictions apply, and which frameworks are already in place. If the file does not exist, run a minimal version: ask the user's HIPAA role, what PHI they touch, where it flows, and what triggered the question (new product, incident, audit, vendor evaluation).


Who Is Regulated

Role Definition Direct HIPAA liability?
Covered Entity (CE) Health plan, healthcare clearinghouse, or healthcare provider that transmits any health information electronically in connection with a HIPAA standard transaction Yes — full Privacy, Security, Breach Notification
Business Associate (BA) Person/entity that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of a CE for a covered function Yes — full Security Rule, most of Privacy Rule, Breach Notification (HITECH/Omnibus)
Subcontractor BA A BA's downstream vendor that touches PHI Yes — same obligations as a BA
Workforce member Employee, volunteer, trainee, or other person under direct control of the CE/BA Compliance flows through the employer; individuals can be sanctioned internally
Conduit (e.g., USPS, common-carrier ISP) Transient transmission only, no persistent access Not a BA per HHS guidance — narrow interpretation

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
