If HIPAA rules are stricter than state law which standard should you follow and why What if the state law was stricter?
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.
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.

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.

Both laws aim to protect individual privacy but do so in different contexts and scopes.
