Privacy Regulation -- On August 14, 2002, the DHHS Office of the Secretary published a final rule establishing Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information. The Privacy Rule makes optional the requirement that providers obtain a patient’s signed consent before using or disclosing a patient’s protected health information; requires covered entities to make reasonable efforts to limit the use and disclosure of and request for, protected health information to the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose; requires covered entities to have contracts with their business associates to ensure the business associates protect the privacy of the information; requires covered entities to first obtain the individual’s specific authorization before sending them any marketing materials; simplifies provisions of the existing rule to more closely follows the requirements of the “Common Rule,” which governs federally-funded research. HR 3323, that would extend the deadline for entities to be in compliance with the transaction standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) by one year.

The bill includes a broad range of patient protections nearly universally available throughout the states enabling access to pediatricians, obstetricians, emergency room services, and rights to appeal health plan decisions. HR 2563, the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act introduced by Rep. Charlie Norwood and Rep. Bill Thomas offering a compromise on the treatment of health plan and employer liability creating a limited right for patients to sue their health plans. S. 2590: Introduced by Senator Jim Jeffords.
