If it is from a health plan, there is no
signature acknowledgement requirement. The signature requirement is
for direct providers only. It sounds like that is the case, if you
received it from your employer.
Are you sure it is a HIPAA Privacy
Notice? Since it is from a life insurance company, it might be a Gramm
Leach Bliley (financial) Privacy Notice.
GLB implements a whole different set of
state laws that insurers and others must follow. No acknowledgement of
the GLB Privacy Notice is required, and the distribution is very different
than for HIPAA.

Interesting occurrence just took place......
I just received a NPP from Guardian Life Insurance Co. It was put in my
inter-office mailbox by our HR staff person. There is no acknowledgement
form for me to sign.............. Do they think by having my employer
distribute them that they are not required to make a good faith effort to
get an acknowledgement signed? Just seems a little off to me. Does anyone
else find this a little lacking?
