View Rule

This rule will address proposals to modify the HIPAA Privacy Rule to support the use of telecommunications relay services by individuals and workforce members of HIPAA covered entities and business associates who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or who have a speech disability. The rule also will address proposals to expand the Privacy Rule permission to use and disclose protected health information of Armed Forces personnel for national readiness purposes so that it applies to all uniformed services personnel, which would include Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the U.S. Public Health Service.
