Health Breach Notification Rule

Health Breach Notification Rule

The Health Breach Notification Rule is a provision of the HITECH Act that requires HIPAA-covered entities and their business associates to provide notifications following a breach of unsecured protected health information (PHI). The rule outlines specific timelines and methods for notifying affected individuals, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and in some cases, the media, to ensure transparency and allow individuals to take appropriate steps to protect themselves.
