Re: Medical records was Re: Ethics in Archives



I have completed substantial research in the HIPAA regulations, and there are
no references to health records which have been released to archives.

Those covered by HIPAA are:

45 CFR 160.102

(1) A health plan.
(2) A health care clearinghouse.
(3) A health care provider who transmits any health information in electronic
form in connection with a transaction covered by this subchapter.

45 CFR 164.104

Except as otherwise provided, the provisions of this part apply to covered
entities: health plans, health care clearinghouses, and health care providers
who transmit health information in electronic form in connection with any
transaction referred to in section 1173(a)(1) of the Act.

A complete search of 45 CFR 160 and 164 unearths no references to archives.
