Abstract

This review was intended to familiarize psychiatrists with the implications of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 on the provision of third-party employment evaluations. Understanding the provisions of the act relative to third-party evaluations can assist psychiatrists in avoiding some of the conflicts that arise in performing such evaluations.
