HIPAA White Papers
A Prescription for Success: Compliance With the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)á
Overview The paper outlines that HIPAA is in direct conflict with state law. HIPAA requires providers to provide patientsùfree of charge, upon request, once each calendar yearùan accounting of all disclosures of the past six years. Some states allow a handling or copying fee to be charged, and others require more than six years to be accounted. HIPAA provides a good rule of thumb for settling differences between state and federal law: the rule that affords greater protection to patient information, or greater rights to patients, is the governing rule. It sets a minimum standard for information protection and patient rights.
