HIPAA Update for Employers
Apr 17, 2006 - Alerts by Hinkle Law Firm
If you are providing group health coverage to your employees – including major medical coverage or even a health flexible spending account – you need to pay attention to the HIPAA Electronic Security Regulations, the HIPAA Medical Privacy Regulations, and the HIPAA Portability Regulations. Subject to some very narrow exceptions, all employer-sponsored group health plans are now required to comply with these HIPAA regulations and other guidance from the government.
