Health care privacy is governed by the Federal gov't. Read about it here http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/understanding/index.html
HIPAA Electronic Transaction and Code Sets Standards(WRONG) HITECH ACT!
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.
Type your answer here... HIPAA
When a state's privacy laws are stricter than HIPAA, it is referred to as "preemption." In this case, the state laws take precedence over federal regulations, allowing the state to enforce its own, more stringent privacy protections. This principle ensures that individuals in that state have greater privacy rights than those provided under HIPAA.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule generally sets a national standard for protecting patient health information, which can provide greater rights in some areas compared to existing state laws. However, if state laws offer more stringent protections or greater patient rights, those state laws take precedence under HIPAA's provisions. Thus, the comparison depends on the specific state law in question. Overall, HIPAA establishes a baseline, but states can enhance patient rights beyond that standard.
HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act; HIPPA has no meaning and is a misspelling, albeit a common one.
