Changes are coming to the HIPAA Privacy Rule, and HIPAAtrek is here to help. Bigger than HITECH, bigger than the Omnibus Rule, over 30% of HIPAA is changing, which will impact your entire compliance program, including BAAs, Policies, and NPPs.
Coming Soon.
These changes were due to be finalized in March 2023, but the OCR has yet to release them and has not made a statement about this delay. Be sure to check back as this page will be updated when we have more information.

The NPP itself is changing, as is the requirement to obtain acknowledgement of your NPP.
