Effective September 23,
2009, new regulations issued by the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services ("HHS") will require covered
entities to notify affected individuals and HHS
following the discovery of a breach of patient
information. These regulations are more expansive
than other notification laws that may already exist.
Under these new regulations, covered entities must
analyze every privacy and/or security incident to
determine whether a notification requirement exists and
then satisfy detailed notice requirements.
