Free HIPAA Privacy Policy Generator
Create a HIPAA notice of privacy practices with patient rights, contact routes and current disclosure provisions. Edit examples and export HTML, Word or PDF.
How to create your hipaa privacy policy
Confirm whether you are a covered provider or health plan, the entities covered, privacy contact, request routes, optional activities and stricter state or other rules.
- 01
Gather accurate information
Identify the responsible organisation, scope and actual contact routes. USA is an editable example country. HIPAA tools address US obligations; a location field does not establish whether a law applies.
- 02
Tailor examples and findings
Open each section. Keep suitable model wording or edit it, and use Restore example when needed. Actual parties, clinical explanations, controls and findings are not invented. Closing a section brings the next into view while keeping answers.
- 03
Review and export
Read the complete document and verify required details. Download Word or HTML, or open Print / Save PDF for a fixed copy. The preview, formatted copy and exports include a link to this exact tool.
- 04
Publish and maintain
Publish the approved policy or notice where its audience can access it, provide any required copies and communicate material changes. Keep contacts and procedures aligned with actual operations.
What your document covers
Covered entity and notice scope → ordinary uses → choices and authorisations → patient rights → Part 2 protections → complaints and notice changes.
Conditional questions follow the selected purpose or activity. Sample procedures stay editable. Patient records, identifiable student cases and credentials should remain in the organisation’s approved systems.
Scope, privacy and review
This patient-facing notice is for HIPAA covered providers or health plans. It is not a complete internal compliance manual or a standalone Part 2 program notice. Review current HHS models and any more protective state or other law.

Frequently asked questions
Is this tool free, and do I need an account?
Creating, copying and exporting your document is free and requires no account. Form answers are processed in this browser and are not saved between visits.
Does this create an internal HIPAA compliance programme?
No. It creates a patient-facing notice of privacy practices. Internal policies, workforce training, security risk analysis, contracts and implemented controls remain separate responsibilities. Standalone Part 2 programs need the appropriate Part 2 notice.
Can I keep or edit the sample content?
Yes. Fields marked “Editable example” contain model wording with Restore example controls. USA is an editable sample country, not a determination of applicable law. Keep wording only when it matches the actual situation. Enter actual parties, contacts, clinical information supplied by a professional or assessment evidence as appropriate; do not enter patient records, student case details or credentials.
Which export formats are available?
Download HTML or an editable Word .docx document. For PDF, open Print / Save PDF and choose Save as PDF in the browser print dialog. Preview, formatted copy and exports contain a link to this exact tool. Publish policies where appropriate; share consent, contract and assessment documents privately with intended recipients.
Reference for your review
HHS: updated model notices of privacy practices. Check the rules applicable to the organisation, records and activity; reference links do not establish applicability or certification.
