Seyfarth Synopsis: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to modify the HIPAA Privacy Rule that protects the privacy and security of individuals’ protected health information (PHI) maintained or transmitted by or on behalf of HIPAA covered entities, such as employer-sponsored health plans.
