Healthcare Practice Group Partners Betsy Hodge and Jordan Cohen provide an overview of de-identification of health information under HIPAA in a recent LexisNexis practice note.  The article discusses how HIPAA-covered entities and business associates can de-identify individually identifiable health information so they can use and disclose that data to leverage its value outside of HIPAA’s restrictions.  The article also addresses issues that covered entities and business associates should consider when opting to de-identify patients’ and health plan participants’ health information.
