WHAT DOES HIPAA PRIVACY MEAN TO GROUP HEALTH PLANS?
A. The HIPAA Privacy Regulations will significantly affect Group Health Plans. The degree of this impact will greatly depend on whether the Group Health Plan is fully-insured or self-funded for its health care benefits. Another variable affecting the impact of HIPAA compliance on groups is the amount of PHI that the Group Health Plan elects to receive.
