The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (“Privacy Rule”) establishes, for the first time, a set of national standards for the protection of certain health information. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) issued the Privacy Rule to implement the requirement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”).1 The Privacy Rule standards address the use and disclosure of individuals’ health information—called “protected health information” by organizations subject to the Privacy Rule — called “covered entities,” as well as standards for individuals' privacy rights to understand and control how their health information is used. Within HHS, the Office for Civil Rights (“OCR”) has responsibility for implementing and enforcing the Privacy Rule with respect to voluntary compliance activities and civil money penalties.
A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals’ health information is properly protected while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care and to protect the public's health and well being. The Rule strikes a balance that permits important uses of information, while protecting the privacy of people who seek care and healing. Given that the health care marketplace is diverse, the Rule is designed to be flexible and comprehensive to cover the variety of uses and disclosures that need to be addressed.
What Information is Protected
Protected Health Information. The Privacy Rule protects all "individually identifiable health information" held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this information "protected health information (PHI)."12
“Individually identifiable health information” is information, including demographic data, that relates to:
the individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to the individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual,
Yes. None of that stops someone from conditioning employment on the wearing of a mask. I have no idea why you think it would.
Nobody is talking about employment... we are talking about being in public and being forced to wear a mask at a place of business or asking vaccination status in order to be ok with you not wearing a mask. It violates each individuals HIPAA rights.
So what you are saying is you go around trolling posts without reading them, then pretend you know facts about the subject without even knowing what the actual subject was, you just state things to demean people and then move on. I can tell this by your comments here, your previous comments on other strings, and by all of the negative feedback you get.
Stop being a TROLL and say something worthwhile after you have read the full post and thought about it for a minute...
In none of these cases is HIPAA germane. HIPAA governs information access protocols and disclosure. It doesn’t entitle you to refuse to answer questions and remain on private property. Your option, if you don’t want to wear a mask, is to leave.
You are insisting that there exists a right which is nowhere in the statute.
