It's
important to remember that, as it relates to Workers' Compensation, the
Privacy Rule refers to state law (see section 164.512(l). You need to be
familiar with what your state laws say about PHI related issues (e.g. when
disclosures of PHI are allowed etc.). Form our perspective,
providers may still have issues with the extent to which "rampant" disclosures
of patient information are occurring (based upon old practices), which may not
be consistent with state law. Now is the time to clean up any errant
practices.

Subject: Workers CompI was hoping some of the organizations and people dealing with Workers Comp and HIPAA could tell me how they are doing and what they feel are some of the major issues. I am in California and right now the impression I get is that a lot of the Organizations dealing with Workers Comp have not much knowledge of HIPAA.
