Analysis of Proposed HHS Regulations Implementing HITECH Act

Posted in Legislation

As promised last week in an earlier post, here is our first Mintz Levin client advisory analyzing the 234 pages of regulations issued on Thursday by the Department of Health and Human Services. Thanks to colleagues Alden Bianchi, Dianne Bourque and Stephen Bentfield.

The regulations are slated to be published in the Federal Register tomorrow, which will trigger the start of the 60-day comment period. We will continue to post further analysis of these regulations and discussion relating to particular points of interest. Stay tuned.
