New HIPAA requirements go into effect Monday

Published Updated 3 Min Read

Human resources administrators now have less than a week to bring their privacy practices and notifications, into compliance with new HIPAA regulations issued in early this year.

The good news for most HR professionals and benefits administrators is that perhaps the most sweeping change to HIPAA with the rules effective Monday doesn’t apply directly to them, but to their third-party administrators and business associates. That can, however, require new contracts and agreements with them.
