The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in the US Department of Health and Human Services is relaxing its enforcement of HIPAA regulations governing telehealth during the COVID-19 National Emergency. Please read the notice at the HHS website.
Because this is a federal announcement, we are not in a position to answer questions or offer clarification on this issue.
The OCR statement applies to the Board’s guidance document on telehealth (85-12).
