  • Title: HIPAA privacy rules and compliance with federal and state employment laws: the participant authorization form.
    Author: Brislin JA.
    Journal: Empl Benefits J; 2003 Mar; 28(1):51-64. PubMed ID: 12645240.
    Abstract:
    Although HIPAA privacy rules do not apply directly to employers or to employment records, they do apply indirectly to employers because employer-sponsored group health plans and all health care providers are covered. HIPAA privacy regulations overlap with federal and state employment laws, and liabilities for breach of confidentiality can be substantial. Employers can use a participant's authorization form to comply with employment laws and company policies. Sample authorization forms are provided at the end of this article.
