Information Blocking Final Rule

Hosted by the LBA's Health Law Section 

After a couple of pandemic-related delays, certain provisions of the Information Blocking Final Rule, a provision of the 21st Century Cures Act, went into effect on April 5, 2021. Additional provisions will go into effect next year. The Rule is geared toward ensuring patients and their providers have access to all their electronic health information (EHI), including lab reports, provider notes, and other data that patients may not find in the mobile health apps supplied by their provider. Health plans and healthcare providers, regardless of their status as a HIPAA-covered entities, must comply. HIPAA also provides patients with a right of access. This webinar will address what the right of access rules require of providers and health plans under both the Information Blocking Rule and HIPAA.

Speakers: Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs attorneys Kathie McDonald-McClure and Jennifer L. Wintergerst
