http://www.hipaadvisory.com/regs/HIPAAprimer.htm Compliance deadlines? Most entities have 24 months from the effective date of the final rules to achieve compliance. Normally, the effective date is 60 days after a rule is published. The Transactions Rule was published on August 17, 2000; the compliance date for that rule is October 16, 2003. The Privacy Rule was published on December 28, 2000, but due to a minor glitch didn't become effective until April 14, 2001. Compliance with the Privacy Rule was required as of April 14, 2003. The final Security Rule was published April 21, 2003, with compliance required as of April 21, 2005. The final Standard Unique Employer Identifier was published on May 31, 2002. Compliance is required by July 30, 2004. Final standards for Provider and Health Plan Identifiers have not yet been published.
