On November 25, 2008, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education released joint guidance explaining the relationship between the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). See HHS/ED Joint Guidance on the Application of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and HIPAA to Student Health Records [PDF].
