The "need to know" rule under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) stipulates that access to protected health information (PHI) should be limited to individuals who require it to perform their job duties. This means that healthcare providers, employees, and other entities can only access PHI if it is necessary for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. This rule helps safeguard patient privacy and ensures that sensitive information is not disclosed unnecessarily. Violations of this rule can result in significant penalties.
