HIPAA grants individuals the legal right to “access” their PHI. This includes a right to inspect and obtain a copy of PHI in paper and electronic format, and to direct such PHI be transmitted to an identified third party. There are only a few narrow exceptions to this HIPAA right. The Office of National Coordinator worked closely with the Secretary of Health and Human Services when drafting the Information Blocking Rule to ensure its alignment with HIPAA. Nevertheless, covered entity health care providers should carefully review the requirements of both rules to ensure compliance with both sets of regulations.
