The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office for Civil Rights today issued guidance on how HIPAA-covered health care providers and health plans can comply with privacy, security and breach notification requirements when using remote communication technologies to provide audio-only telehealth services, including after the COVID-19 public health emergency.
