Paul,
You are
correct that the federal regs supercede state law...except where state law is
necessary to prevent fraud or abuse.
To date I
have not encountered any state law that falls into this
exception.

Subject: Re: state mandates versus HIPAA-required fields on the 834
The FAQs on Administrative Simplification http://aspe.hhs.gov/admnsimp/faqtx.htm#effectstatelaw
states that the federal regulations on transactions supercede any State law that is contrary to them but allows for an exception process for conflicting State laws. Perhaps somebody can expand upon this issue for you.
