On December 11, 2020, we published Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: HHS Proposes Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule. In it, we shared that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (“HHS”) has proposed certain modifications to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) Privacy Rule (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164). On January 21, 2021 HHS published its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Notice”) in the Federal Register, triggering the start of the official public comment period, which ends on March 22, 2021. These proposed modifications, if implemented, will be the first major changes to the Privacy Rule since the HIPAA Omnibus Final Rule became effective in 2013.
