HIPAA Generally Does Not Apply to Employers HIPAA applies only to covered entities, which are defined as: (1) health plans; (2) healthcare clearinghouses; and (3) healthcare providers that electronically transmit certain health information (and certain business associates of covered entities).
Healthcare employees may be found criminally liable for HIPAA violations and cases can be referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution. Criminal violations of HIPAA Rules can result in financial penalties and jail time for healthcare employees.
HIPAA applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, qualifying healthcare providers, and business associates that provide a service for or on behalf of a covered entity.
In this respect, HIPAA applies to the majority of workers, most health insurance providers, and employers who sponsor or co-sponsor employee health insurance plans. However, HIPAA consists of four further titles covering topics from medical liability reform to taxes on expatriates who give up U.S. citizenship.
HIPAA applies to universities when they function as covered entities or hybrid entities under the Privacy Rule. Universities become subject to HIPAA if they operate healthcare components such as hospitals, health clinics, or health plans that electronically transmit protected health information (PHI).
