Just as FY to List Serve Members: On August 9, 2002, the Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS) issued the final changes to the HIPAA
privacy regulations. These changes were published in the Federal Register
on August 14, 2002, and they can be downloaded from the website of the HHS
Office for Civil Rights at <URL Redacted>. Although some
important changes were made to the HIPAA privacy regulations, the effective
date for compliance remains the same: April 14, 2003. Furthermore, despite
some rumors to the contrary, these rules continue to apply to O&P providers.
