OCR Announces Intention to Move Forward With Development of Methodology to Distribute Enforcement Funds to Victims of HIPAA Violations
While this announcement is considerably hopeful, it opens the door for many unanswered questions. Proposed and final rules for 2018, from the Office for Civil Rights, were recently updated to be released later this year. Along with that update was early notice of proposed rulemaking in which the OCR will look for comments on determining a way to dispense monies collected from HIPAA enforcement actions to those who were harmed by the underlying incident. This white paper reviews this announcement and how it may impact other OCR enforcement.
