Healthcare accountants are considered business associates (BAs) under HIPAA law. As such HIPAA for accountants in healthcare requires the same level of compliance as any other business associate. A business associate is any entity hired by a covered entity (CE) to perform a service.
Accountants must maintain confidentiality throughout the client relationship, from initial consultation to completion of services. This includes: 1- Initial consultations: Keeping discussions and information shared during initial meetings confidential.
In many cases, clients will regard even the mere fact that they use the professional accountant's services as being confidential. This means that it is important never to disclose even the names of clients, let alone any information relating to their personal or business affairs.
Confidentiality requires an accountant never to disclose a client's information without permission from that client. Because of the fiduciary relationship and confidentiality, a client can feel comfortable sharing sensitive information and facts with the accountant.
In most cases, CPAs do not need to sign an NDA because confidentiality is an established part of their professional responsibilities. However, if a client requests an NDA for added assurance, some CPAs may agree to sign one, although it is not necessary.

You do not need a lawyer to create and sign a non-disclosure agreement. However, if the information you are trying to protect is important enough to warrant an NDA, you may want to have the document reviewed by someone with legal expertise.
A confidentiality agreement should include the names and addresses of the parties to the contract. Consider also including: Reason for the agreement: Explain why you're sharing this information. The information disclosed: Be specific about the subject matter and what exactly is included in the agreement.
