What New Obligations Do Health Plans and States Face Under the Latest Interoperability Requirements and What’s the Best Path to Compliance? Learn the Answer at a New Manatt Webinar.
Historically, privacy rules have focused on ensuring that health plans and state Medicaid programs do not inappropriately share their data. With the exception of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) right of access, these rules gave plans and states the discretion to withhold data. The framework changed, however, when the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the interoperability rule in 2020. Now plans must engage in more extensive efforts to share their data with both their enrollees and other parties. These obligations may expand even further with new interoperability requirements that the Trump administration issued in its final days.
