HIPPA and Patient Privacy Issues: Remember New Rules Apply Soon--Make Sure Your Pharmacy Is In Compliance


Beginning Sept. 23, 2013, liability for many of HIPAA’s requirements will extend directly to business associates that receive or store protected health information, such as contractors and subcontractors.
Individuals who believe that a covered entity has violated their (or someone else’s) health information privacy rights or committed another violation of the HIPAA Privacy or Security Rule may file a complaint with OCR at:http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/index.html.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has valuable information on its website at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/index.html
