When AGs Call, Know When to Fight, When to Fold | Health Care Compliance Association (HCCA)

Transparency and contrition are two qualities that HIPAA officials at covered entities (CEs) and business associates (BAs) might want to think about expressing should they ever get a call from a state attorney general (AG) investigating a breach.
That’s according to Jonathan Skrmetti, Tennessee’s chief deputy AG, who spoke recently at the 2020 Healthcare Enforcement Compliance Conference, sponsored by the Health Care Compliance Association, which publishes
RPP.
[1]
Skrmetti addressed the growing interest that state AGs have in pursuing multistate settlements and the structure that supports these enforcement actions (see related story, p. 1).
