HIPAA Breach Notification Rule
HIPAA Breach Notification Rule (45 CFR 164.400-414)
The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule requires covered entities to notify affected individuals, HHS and in some cases the media after a breach of unsecured protected health information.
Individuals must be told without unreasonable delay and within 60 days of discovery; business associates must notify the covered entity, and encrypted data that meets HHS guidance is not considered unsecured.
