Are the recommendations in the Privacy Study legal advice?
No. While the Privacy Study contains an assessment of the relevant state rules and how they interact with HIPAA, it is not legal advice. The Privacy Study cannot constitute legal advice on privacy law reviewed without the context of an individual user’s operations and needs. Instead, the summaries and analyses are meant to serve as a guide as to which laws govern a particular issue and the legal requirements users should consider in health information privacy compliance.
