Make sure that you or someone else has explained confidentiality and the limitations of confidentiality to the individual. Be sure the client is given information on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). People need to know that their diagnosis may go to their insurance company. It is not necessary to go into every exception regarding confidentiality verbally, but let them know that under circumstances where they might be in an emergency, information may be shared.
