The Request for Information on Modifying HIPAA Rules to Improve Coordinated Care is slated for publication in the federal register tomorrow.  The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued an advance copy of the RFI yesterday.  Specifically, “OCR seeks information on the provisions of the HIPAA Rules that may present obstacles to, or place unnecessary burdens on, the ability of covered entities and business associates to conduct care coordination and/or case management, or that may inhibit the transformation of the health care system to a value-based health care system.”  The public comment period closes 60 days from December 14, 2018.
