HIPAA / HITECH Compliance Kit For
In January 2013, HHS issued significant new HIPAA regulations. The primary purpose of the regulations is to implement the HITECH amendment to HIPAA. In addition, HHS released new sample business associate agreement provisions. Employers need to update their prior HIPAA compliance efforts in response to the new regulations.
Miller Johnson has prepared a compliance kit to assist employers in their capacity as health plan sponsors to update their HIPAA privacy and security procedures and documents for HITECH and the new final regulations. The kit includes a hard copy and electronic versions of the following:
Miller Johnson is offering employers a new compliance kit to address the final regulations and all of the employer’s HIPAA / HITECH compliance requirements. If you are an employer that previously purchased a compliance kit from Miller Johnson, the cost of the new kit is $500. It is intended to replace the prior kit. If you are an employer that has not previously ordered a compliance kit from Miller Johnson, we are also making the kit available to you. Your cost of the kit is $850.
The kit is intended for use by employers in their capacity as health plan sponsors. It is for the purpose of addressing all of the documents needed in order to comply with the final regulations. As a result, it should update and replace prior HIPAA and HITECH compliance efforts.

Miller Johnson also offers a compliance kit specifically designed for business associates. It updates and replaces the prior kit for business associates offered by Miller Johnson. If you are a returning customer, we are making the kit available to you for $400.

As noted in our October 31, 2024 client alert, in response to the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – the agency with the jurisdiction to enforce HIPAA – issued new guidance to address the protection of protected health information (PHI) that is related to reproductive health care.
Covered Entities (i.e., health plans) and Business Associates must train applicable workforce members and amend their HIPAA policies and procedures by December 23, 2024 with respect to the requirements of this new guidance.
