For instance, government-run health plans, such as Medicare and Medicaid plans, must take virtually the same steps to protect the claims and health information that they receive from beneficiaries as pri Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:41:28 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/1961579/Social-Security-govtaccess http://www.scribd.com/doc/1961578/Social-Security-guidanceallsections OCR HIPAA Privacy December 3, 2002 Revised April 3, 2003 STANDARDS FOR PRIVACY OF INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION [45 CFR Parts 160 and 164] Introduction This guidance explains and answers questions about key elements of the requirements of the HIPAA Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (the Privacy Rule). The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published the Privacy Rule on December 28, 2000, and adopted modifications of the Rule on August 14, 2002.

Along with these rights, the Privacy Rule provides individuals with the ability to access and amend this information, and the right to an accounting of certain disclosures.

However, most health care providers and health plans do not carry out all of their health care activities and functions by themselves. Instead, they often use the services of a variety of other persons or businesses.

As such, the Rule generally prohibits a covered entity from using or disclosing protected health information unless authorized by patients, except where this prohibition would result in unnecessary interference with access to quality health Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:41:23 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/1961575/Social-Security-sharingfortpo http://www.scribd.com/doc/1961574/Social-Security-Introduction OCR HIPAA Privacy December 3, 2002 Revised April 3, 2003 STANDARDS FOR PRIVACY OF INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION [45 CFR Parts 160 and 164] Introduction This guidance explains and answers questions about key elements of the requirements of the HIPAA Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (the Privacy Rule).

However, these entities need access to the health information of individuals who are injured on the job or who have a work-related illness to process or adjudicate claims, or to coordinate care under workers’ compensation systems.

With limited exceptions, the Rule requires an individual’s written authorization before a use or disclosure of his or her protected health information can be made for marketing.

Health plans and covered health care providers are required to develop and distribute a notice that provides a clear explanation of these rights and practices.

Due to the nature of these communications and practices, as well as the various environments in which individuals receive health care or other services from covered entities, the potential exists for an individual’s health information to be disclosed incidentally.
