HIPAA, Terms of the HIPAA privacy rule do not per se preempt the laws, rules, or regulations of various states, except where the laws, rules, or regulations are contrary to the HIPAA privacy rule. Therefore, the HIPAA privacy rule provides a floor of protection. Where the state laws are more stringent than a standard requirement or implementation specification of the HIPAA privacy rule, the health-care provider must comply with both the federal and state provisions.
