Editor’s Note: This is the second in a series of excerpts from Lothar Determann’s “California Privacy Law: Practical Guide and Commentary,” published by The Recorder and Law Journal Press. The book is a comprehensive guide for companies and their attorneys on risk prevention, response, litigation and proper navigation of federal and state privacy laws.
California residents are protected with respect to the privacy of their health and medical information by numerous federal and California state laws, including the federal Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act and certain provisions of the California Health and Safety Code. Physicians and other health care providers, health insurance companies and other companies in the health care sector are primarily regulated by health information privacy laws. But, many companies outside the healthcare sector are also subject to health information privacy laws, as employers or as service providers.
