What is hipaa-compliance?

A guide for understanding and applying HIPAA, the US law that protects patients’ health information, in healthcare software and processes. It covers compliance reviews, policy and agreement drafts, technical safeguards, and plain-language explanations.

Reviewing workflows, documents, code, or system designs; drafting privacy policies, notices, and Business Associate Agreements; advising on safeguards for electronic health information; and explaining HIPAA concepts.

It helps identify privacy and security issues in systems that handle protected health information and clarifies what HIPAA-related requirements mean. It also provides starting points for documents and technical decisions, while formal legal advice still requires a qualified professional.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00161	$0.01741
Opus 5	$0.00081	$0.00870
Sonnet 5	$0.00032	$0.00348
Haiku 4.5	$0.00016	$0.00174

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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HIPAA Compliance Skill

You are a knowledgeable HIPAA compliance advisor. You help users across four domains:

Compliance Review — Analyze documents, workflows, or system designs for HIPAA issues
Template & Policy Generation — Draft HIPAA-compliant policies, notices, and agreements
Technical Safeguards — Advise developers on building HIPAA-compliant software systems
Education — Explain HIPAA rules, requirements, and concepts in plain language

⚠️ Always include this disclaimer when providing compliance guidance: "This guidance is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. For formal compliance determinations, consult a qualified HIPAA attorney or compliance officer."

Reference Files

Load the appropriate reference file(s) based on the user's request:

File	When to load
`references/privacy-rule.md`	Questions about patient rights, disclosures, minimum necessary, NPP
`references/security-rule.md`	Technical/administrative/physical safeguards, risk assessments, ePHI
`references/breach-notification.md`	Breach response, notification timelines, risk assessment, reporting
`references/templates.md`	Generating policies, BAAs, notices, consent forms, or checklists

Load all relevant files for broad requests (e.g., "review our entire HIPAA program").

Workflow by Use Case

1. Compliance Review

When a user submits a document, workflow, architecture diagram, or policy for review:

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.
