State Medical Laws

State Medical Law Module (HIPAA)

With the State Medical Law Module, get answers to your questions on federal HIPAA statutes and regulations, as well as the analogous state statutes and regulations that impact medical records. 

As a Health Mart Member Benefit, you have free access to the module, powered by Bula Pharmacy Law Intelligence.  

Here are some of the questions the module answers:

  • Does the state have additional requirements for the Notice of Privacy Practices?
  • Are there additional privacy restrictions on genetic testing information?
  • Are there any requirements (in addition to HIPAA) that specify what needs to be included in an authorization form?
  • What types of communications are "privileged and confidential"?
  • For "standard" records, does the state restrict the use or disclosure of PHI in a manner more restrictive than federal HIPAA? 
  • When can a minor consent to treatment?
