HIPAA Administrative Simplification: Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) proposes to modify certain provisions of the "Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information" (Privacy Rule), issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The purpose of these proposed modifications is to implement section 105 of Title I of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) regarding the privacy and confidentiality of genetic information, as well as to make certain other changes to the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
