The New HIPAA NPRM—The Latest and Greatest in the Evolution of the HIPAA Privacy Rule

Posted on December 20, 2020January 30, 2025 by pogowasright.org

Kirk J. Nahra of WilmerHale writes:

Following a pattern of familiarity for health lawyers, the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) has released a substantial Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) in December at the end of an administration.[1] The NPRM is intended to
revise the Privacy Rule under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA). Because comments are not due until after the new Biden administration takes
office, the fate of this NPRM is unclear. At the same time, this NPRM reflects two key
issues of concern to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in its current incarnation:
improving patient access to health information (a goal presumably shared by a new
administration) and expanding opportunities for increased information sharing in specific
contexts (primarily focused on coordinated care and sharing with social service
organizations).
