Blog: Possible Changes to HIPAA – What’s this RFI All About (A Summary)

Andy · Feb 9, 2019

Thought I'd post this as it talks about things that may well affect our members in the US.

This is NOT a chance to comment on everything we don’t like about HIPAA. While we all know there are many places where HIPAA can be improved, this RFI is about 5 specific areas of HIPAA. The OCR has proposed very specific questions in each area for people to answer and those are what they want feedback on (those questions can be found here).

The 5 areas include:

Sharing information between doctors

Sharing substance use and mental health information with friends and family

Accounting of Disclosures

Notice of Privacy Practices

HIPAA “burdens” that prevent policy goals around Value-Based Care

There’s a lot here and you certainly don’t have to address every part of the RFI. You can pick and choose what is most important to you.
