HIPAA and How It Applies to You
February 8, 2017
Winston & Strawn’s Privacy & Data Security Practice and Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Practice hosted an eLunch titled “HIPAA and How It Applies to You” on February 8, 2017, at 12:15-1:30 p.m. (CST).
While the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is best known for its multitude of requirements that govern the way health care providers can use, disclose, and safeguard protected health information (PHI), its reach goes far beyond that to health plans and business associates that only handle PHI on a limited basis. HIPAA implementation in these environments creates unique challenges—for example, which provisions actually need to be addressed—but with 2016 marking an all-time high for HIPAA enforcement cases, it may be more important now than ever to address HIPAA compliance.
Alessandra Swanson, from our Privacy & Data Security Practice, and Steve Flores, from our Employee Benefits and Executive Compensation Practice, gave a presentation about how the HIPAA regulations apply to health plans and business associates, and what these entities may consider when creating or updating their HIPAA compliance programs. The discussion examined the following important areas:
- An in-depth look at the Privacy and Security Rules
- Best practices for implementing HIPAA in a health plan or business associate environment
- Breach reporting obligations under the Breach Notification Rule
- An overview of the HIPAA enforcement landscape
- Lessons learned from recent HIPAA enforcement cases
