Texas’ Reproductive Health Privacy Rule Lawsuit: Potential Federal-State Challenges

Texas recently filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services challenging both the HIPAA Final Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy and the HIPAA Privacy Rule, with potential implications for the balance of power between federal health privacy regulations and states’ authority to investigate potential legal violations, particularly in the context of reproductive health care. Andrew Mahler, Vice President of Privacy & Compliance Services, Clearwater, speaks with Marti Arvin, Chief Compliance & Privacy Officer, Erlanger Health, about the power play that may be developing and the potential for future challenges to federal regulations that limit state investigative powers.
