Without going into a lot of discussion about the difference between the plan sponsor and plan administrator activities, the plan administrator is responsible for this. If you are also the plan administrator, than you have both responsibilities. Your SPD should state who is the plan administrator for easy reference.
>>> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/13/03 07:40AM >>> We are an acute care hospital providing health insurance to our employees as a self-insured plan. As the plan sponsor we are required to amend our group health plan document to comply with HIPAA. Are we also responsible for drafting and providing to our employees a Notice of Privacy Practice, or is that the responsibility of the health plan?
