Abstract: The Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical
Health (HITECH) Act, Title XIII of
Division A and Title IV of Division B of
the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) (Pub.
L. 111–5) requires the Office for Civil
Rights to collect information regarding
breaches discovered by covered entities
and their business associates under the
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 160 and
Subparts A and E of Part 164). ARRA
was enacted on February 17, 2009. The
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) issued interim final
regulations on August 24, 2009 (74 FR
42740), which became effective
September 23, 2009, to require HIPAA
covered entities and their business
associates to provide notification in the
case of breaches of unsecured protected
health information. Section 164.404 of
this interim final regulation requires
HIPAA covered entities to notify
affected individuals of a breach of their
unsecured protected health information
and, in some cases, to notify the media
of such breaches pursuant to § 164.406.
Section 164.408 requires covered
entities to provide the Secretary with
immediate notice of all breaches of
unsecured protected health information
involving more than 500 individuals.
Additionally, the Act requires covered
entities to provide the Secretary with an
annual log of all breaches of unsecured
protected health information that
involve less than 500 individuals.
Finally, business associates must notify
the covered entity of any breaches that
occur subject to § 164.410.
