Health Information Portability and Accountability Act Sample Clauses

Health Information Portability and Accountability Act. The WIC Program is not covered under the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The Indiana WIC Program, local agencies, and WIC clinics are required to comply with the regulations of the USDA, including those focused on the protection of WIC applicant and client confidentiality. Once applicant or client information is included in WIC files, WIC confidentiality protections are attached to the information. It is possible that WIC confidentiality protections are more stringent than HIPAA requirements, and thus, further protect applicant and client information. Local agencies affected by HIPAA regulations may want to consider evaluating whether or not to declare the agency “hybrid entities” to allow compliance for HIPAA-covered entities while the WIC program would remain a non-covered entity and would continue to follow WIC confidentiality requirements.
