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.

When does state privacy law supersede HIPAA?
State privacy laws can supersede HIPAA when they provide greater protection for individuals' health information. For instance, if a state law grants patients more rights regarding their medical records or imposes stricter requirements on the disclosure of health information, that law takes precedence over HIPAA. Additionally, certain states may have specific laws related to mental health or substance abuse records that exceed HIPAA's protections. However, if a state law is less stringent than HIPAA, HIPAA's provisions apply.
Does the HIPAA privacy rule provide greater or fewer patient right compared to existing state laws?
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.
