Request: Revision of a currently

Use: The Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) became
law in 1996 (Pub. L. 104–191). Subtitle
F of Title II of HIPAA, entitled
‘‘Administrative Simplification,’’
requires the Secretary of HHS to adopt
national standards for certain
information-related activities of the
health care industry. The HIPAA
provisions, by statute, apply only to
‘‘covered entities’’ referred to in section
1320d–2(a)(1) of this title.
Responsibility for administering and
enforcing the HIPAA Administrative
Simplification Transactions, Code Sets,
Identifiers and Security rules has been
delegated to CMS. The initial
information collected to enforce these
rules will be used to initiate
enforcement actions. This information
collection change clarifies the ‘‘Identify
the HIPAA Non-Privacy complaint
category’’ section of the complaint form.
In this section, complainants are given
an opportunity to check the ‘‘Unique
Identifiers’’ option to categorize the type
of HIPAA complaint being filed. The
revised form now includes a ‘‘’’For a
Unique Identifier Complaint’’ section,
that allows a complaint to further
categorize their identifier complaint as
either a ‘‘National Provider Identifier
(NPI)’’ or an ‘‘Employer Identification
Number (EIN)’’ complaint. Form
