Direct treatment providers that are covered entities (CEs) are only required to give out their privacy notices one time to each patient, assuming that the privacy notice contains a statement reserving the right to make changes.
You must post your privacy notice prominently in your facility. If you change the notice, you must update the posted notice and all copies and make sure each shows the effective date. Keep in mind that you must update the notice and make it available prior to the change taking effect.
