HIPAA Protected Health Information Provisions Become Effective - Clients Need to Take Action Now
On April 14, 2003, the privacy provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-191, 45 CFR §§ 160-164, affectionately dubbed HIPAA, went into effect. The new regulations have caused much turmoil among "covered entities" (e.g., doctors, hospitals, nursing home facilities, and insurance companies), as they will now, for the first time, be subject to federally imposed sanctions and monetary fines for unauthorized disclosure of "private health information." The new law has caused many health care providers to clamp down on the release of medical records and other health care information to anyone other than the patient.
