Notice On The Privacy and Accountability Law (HIPAA)
In 2003, as a result of federal laws, specifically the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and changes in regulations from the Department of Labor (DOL), health insurance plans such as ours must change our guidelines. These changes affect both the House Staff Benefits Plan in California, Massachusetts and New York and the Voluntary Hospitals House Staff Benefits Plan in New Jersey and New York .
