Two California Democrats unveiled legislation Tuesday that would restrict health providers from disclosing personal health information related to an abortion without the patient's permission, strengthening privacy protections for reproductive health information guaranteed under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
The legislation would also direct the Health and Human Services Department to revise HIPAA and health information technology regulations to enforce the measures and conduct a national education campaign to inform HIPAA-covered entities and their associates about the suggested revisions. "HIPAA provides much-needed privacy and security for medical records. In the changing reproductive rights landscape, however, it provides limited protection for people seeking abortion care, even if they travel to states that allow these services," said Carmel Shachar, executive director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics at Harvard Law School."This bill proposes to give patients better control over their reproductive information.
