February 16 Deadline For HIPAA Privacy Notice Update Rapidly Approaching

February 12, 2026

February 16, 2026, is the deadline for health care providers, group health plans and health insurers to update and redistribute their Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (“HIPAA”) Notice of Privacy Practices (“Privacy Notice”) to comply with recent federal rule changes strengthening protections certain Part 2 substance use disorder (“SUD”) records (the “SUD Rules”). Timely update of Privacy Notices and compliance with these related requirements is particularly critical for the following organizations, who regularly receive and handle SUD records:

  • Behavioral health providers;
  • Integrated delivery systems;
  • Health plans receiving SUD claims data; and
  • Third party administrators, utilization management, and other health plan service providers involved in the administration of behavioral health or substance abuse benefits.

HIPAA Privacy Notice Generally

The HIPAA regulations require most health care providers, group health plans and health care clearinghouses (“Covered Entities”) to provide a Privacy Notice that meets the content and distribution requirements of the HIPAA rules. See 45 C.F.R. § 164.520. Health plans generally must deliver the Privacy Notice to their members at enrollment.  Health care providers generally must present the Privacy Notice to patients at least once a year, try to obtain acknowledgement of receipt, display it at their service locations and “prominently post” it on their websites.

Noncompliance with these and other HIPAA requirements can trigger a wide range of adverse consequences, including:

  • Complicate the administration and defense of HIPAA compliance;
  • Fuel HIPAA complaints from PHI subjects or others;
  • Trigger OCR enforcement and the potential civil monetary penalties and corrective action plans;
  • Expose noncompliant health plan fiduciaries to fiduciary investigation and liability under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act;
  • Expose health care providers to licensure, ethical or other professional investigations and sanctions;
  • Expose health care providers and insurers to licensing or other state regulatory enforcement actions;
  • Violate stop-loss, liability or other contracts;
  • Expose health plans, their fiduciaries and other covered entities to added expense to respond to and defend complaints and investigations; and
  • Create reputational risk.

Privacy Notice Updates Due February 16, 2026

The Privacy Notice updates currently due by February 16, 2026, arise from the 2024 Final Rule aligning 42 CFR Part 2 with HIPAA jointly published by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (“SAMHSA”) and OCR to align the substance abuse privacy rules in 42 CFR Part 2 more closely with HIPAA.

While most of the SUD rules operational provisions already are in effect, Covered Entities that maintain SUD records subject to Part to have until February 16, 2026, to update and timely distribute their Privacy Notices to:

  • Explain how Part 2 records may be used and disclosed.
  • Describe patients’ rights to obtain an accounting of disclosures, request restrictions, file complaints and describe potential penalties for misuse.

Along with updating their Privacy Notices content, health plans and other Covered Entities also need to update their Privacy Notice postings and distributions.  Health plans generally are encouraged to follow best practices by treating the revisions as material revisions impacting their health plans and err in favor of broad distribution. Health plans generally should distribute the updated notice to plan participants within 60 days of a material revision or include notice of its availability in its next annual mailing and post an updated copy on the plan’s website. In contrast, health care providers must meet slightly broader distribution requirements, that generally require a health care provider:

  • Ensure the updated notice is provided to new patients at check-in and request a signed acknowledgement of receipt from the patient at least once a year;
  • Post the revised Privacy Notice in a clear and prominent locations in treatment areas as required by the Privacy Rule;
  • Make copies available upon request; and
  • Post electronically on websites

Beyond these specific actions in response to the 2024 Final Rule aligning 42 CFR Part 2, self-insured ERISA plans, their employer or other plan sponsors, fiduciaries, and service providers should take the following steps:

  • Update the plan’s HIPAA Notice;
  • Review and update as necessary HIPAA policies and practices, plan documents and other documentation to ensure compliance with new rule and updated HIPAA Privacy Notie ;
  • Communicate and coordinate with business associates and other service providers and vendors to verify their process and practices are updated to comply with the new requirements;
  • Conduct any necessary training and education for workforce members and business associates;
  • Document compliance efforts; and
  • Take steps to monitor compliance on an ongoing basis.

Review To Confirm Continuing Adequacy Of Other Existing Privacy Notice Content Also Advisable

Along with implementing the changes necessary to ensure their Privacy Notices comply with the SUD Rules of 42 CFR Part 2 alignment, group health plans and other Covered Entities also should review and update their Privacy Notices to confirm other content continues to meet OCR’s Privacy Notice requirements.

Since OCR has not substantively revised the content requirements for Privacy Notices or its model Notice of Privacy Practices for many years, many group health plans and other covered entities take for granted that the existing content of their Privacy Notices remains compliant.  While OCR’s rules have not changed, group health plans and other Covered Entities often have experienced changes in staffing, addresses or other operational details that may make updates to their Privacy Notices required or advisable.  Failing to update Privacy Notices to reflect these changes can both violate HIPAA and fuel a wide range of potentially costly miscommunications and disagreements.  Consequently, group health plan sponsors, fiduciaries and service providers, as well as other Covered Entities also are encouraged to review their existing Privacy Notices for any updates required in response to these and other changes.

HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy No Longer Required

Covered Entities currently do not have to change their Privacy Notices to add disclosures about new requirements for the disclosure of protected health information (“PHI”) relating to reproductive rights that OCR sought to require under its HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy (“Reproductive Rights Rule”), as the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas vacated those requirements in Purl v. United States Department of Health and Human Services, No. 2:24-CV-228-Z, (N.D. Tex. June 18, 2025).

Had the District Court not struck down the Reproductive Rights Rule last June, Covered Entities also would have been required by February 16, 2026, to revise their Privacy Notices to discuss OCR HIPAA rules restricting disclosures of protected health information (“PHI”) related to lawful reproductive health care.  

OCR adopted the Reproductive Rights Rule as part of a broader series of actions by the Biden Administration intended to mitigate the effect of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, 597 U.S. 215 (2022). Dobbs restored state power to regulate abortion by reversing the Supreme Court’s decades-old decision in Roe v. Wade, which had recognized a woman’s right to abortion as part of a fundamental right to reproductive privacy.

In furtherance of these broader efforts to limit state efforts to regulate abortion and other reproductive rights, the Reproductive Rights Rule prohibited Covered Entities from using or disclosing PHI:

  • For criminal, civil, or administrative investigations into lawful reproductive health care
  • To identify a person for such investigations
  • For proceedings related to lawful reproductive health care

It also required Covered Entities and their business associates to:

  • Obtain a signed attestation before disclosing reproductive health information for certain law enforcement or oversight requests
  • Revise their Privacy Notice to describe these new protections

The federal district court’s ruling makes these updates unnecessary at this time.

Providers Get More Flexibility To Report Mental Health Patients To Gun Data Base Under New Privacy Rule

January 6, 2016

As part of the broader series of regulatory and executive actions that President Obama says the Obama Administration is taking in hopes of deterring gun violence, the Department of Health & Human Service Office of Civil Rights (“OCR”) is amending the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) Privacy Rule applicable to health care providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses and their business associates (hereafter, collectively “Covered Entities”) to expressly permit some (not all) HIPAA-Covered Entities to disclose the identities of and certain other protected health information (PHI) of individuals with certain mental health conditions that would disqualify the individual from having a firearm under Federal law.

“The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule and the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS): Final Rule” (“Final Rule”) scheduled for official publication in the Federal Register today (January 6, 2016).

The adoption of the Final Rule provides more latitude for some by not all health care providers covered by HIPAA to report for listing on the NICS patients with gun ownership disqualifying mental health histories under the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, Pub. L. 103-159 (Brady Gun Law), and its implementing regulations.

However, an analysis of a prepublication copy of the Final Rule available for review here reveals that while the Final Rule will provide greater latitude for some Covered Entities to disclose the identify and other specified PHI to the NICS data base, Covered Entities contemplating making such disclosures should conduct a careful, well-documented analysis of the proposed report to ensure that the disclosure fulfills each of the requirements to qualify as allowed by the Final Rule.

The NICS reporting and other requirements of the Brady Gun Law and the Gun Control Act of 1968, as amended (Title 18, United States Code, Chapter 44), certain individuals from owning, and licensed dealers from selling or otherwise transferring firearms to certain categories of individuals referred to as “prohibitors” including felons and, most relevant for the Final Rule, “mental health prohibitors.”

Under the Department of Justice (DOJ) regulations, a “mental health prohibitors” are defined as individuals who have been involuntarily committed to a mental institution, for reasons such as mental illness or drug use; found incompetent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of insanity; or otherwise determined by a court, board, commission, or other lawful authority to be a danger to themselves or others or unable to manage their own affairs, as a result of marked subnormal intelligence, or mental illness, incompetency.

Prior to the adoption of the Final Rule, many health care providers have cited the HIPAA Privacy Rule as a deterrent to their reporting patients whose mental health history would qualify the patients as mental health prohibitors to the NICS. The HIPAA Privacy Rule, establishes federal protections to ensure the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI) and establishes an array of individual rights with respect to one’s own health information by providing that Covered Entities may only use and disclose individually identifiable health care information considered “protected health information” for purposes of HIPAA (“PHI” with the individual’s written authorization, or as otherwise expressly permitted or required by the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

As interpreted by OCR prior to its adoption of the Final Rule, a health care provider or other Covered Entity generally could not rely upon exceptions from the Privacy Rule for disclosures to law enforcement or for safety to exempt the report from HIPAA’s prohibitions against disclosure of PHI where the record of an involuntary commitment or mental health adjudication originated with a HIPAA covered entity, or the HIPAA covered entity is the State repository for such records. Rather, OCR interpreted the Privacy Rule as providing only three possible ways in which Covered Entities generally could report to the NICS (without the individual’s authorization):

  • The patient authorized the disclosure in accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule;
  • Where a State enacted a law that requires (and does not merely authorize) such reporting; or
  • Where no such state law exists, a HIPAA covered entity that performs both health care and non-health care functions (e.g., NICS reporting) could become a hybrid entity under HIPAA so that the Privacy Rule applies only to its health care functions and then report the prohibitor information through its non-HIPAA covered NICS reporting unit without restriction under the Privacy Rule.

OCR’s adoption of the Final Rule implements changes that it previously proposed in 2013 as part of a series of 23 executive actions President Obama proposed in 2013 aimed at curbing gun violence across the nation. OCR says its adoption of the Final Rule is an important step to improving public safety by better enabling the reporting of the identities of prohibited individuals to the background check system “while continuing to strongly protect individuals’ privacy interests.”

While preserving these options, the Final Rule expands the authority of health care providers and other Covered Entities to report a mental health prohibitor to the NICS data bank by creating a specific NICS reporting disclosure exception to the HIPAA Privacy Rule’s general prohibitions against disclosures of PHI without authorization in Privacy Rule § 164.512(k)(7).

Health care providers and other Covered Entities considering making NICS reports about the mental health history of individuals that qualifies as PHI should proceed with caution. The Final Rule only authorizes NICS disclosures of PHI for a small subset of HIPAA Covered Entities that either make the mental health determinations that disqualify individuals from having a firearm or are designated by their States to report this information to NICS. The rule does not apply to most treating providers.

Under the Final Rule, a Covered Entity may use or disclose PHI for purposes of reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System the identity of an individual who is prohibited from possessing a firearm as a mental health prohibitor under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(4), if the Covered Entity:

  • Is a State agency or other entity that is, or contains an entity that is either
    •  An entity designated by the State to report, or which collects information for purposes of reporting, on behalf of the State, to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System; or
    • A court, board, commission, or other lawful authority that makes the commitment or adjudication that causes an individual to be a mental health prohibitor; and
  • Discloses the information only to:
    • The National Instant Criminal Background Check System; or
    • An entity designated by the State to report, or which collects information for purposes of reporting, on behalf of the State, to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System; and
  • Discloses only the limited demographic and certain other information needed for purposes of reporting to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System; and
  • Does not disclose diagnostic or clinical information for such purposes.

Health care providers contemplating making or the need to consider making NICS reports about persons with mental health treatment histories need to proceed cautiously as even following the adoption of the Final Rule, the health care provider should anticipate the need to manage a number of risks under HIPAA and otherwise. Obviously, since disclosure of PHI in a NICS report or otherwise exposes health care providers and other Covered Entities to civil penalties, criminal prosecution, licensing board or other disciplinary actions as well as a host of other adverse consequences, a health care provider or other Covered Entity contemplating making a NICS disclosure under the Final Rule or any other disclosure of PHI will want to ensure the all requirements to make the use or disclosure permitted under the Privacy Rule are met.

Beyond these HIPAA considerations, since the disclosures specifically relate to individuals suffering mental illness, health care providers or other Covered Entities also should take steps to mitigate their potential exposures to potential charges of disability discrimination which if not properly managed, could trigger civil sanctions by OCR under its disability discrimination rules, limitation or exclusion from Medicare or other federal program participation, law suits and other liabilities.

In addition, Covered Entities also will want to consider and manage the foreseeable challenges and exposures that could arise from the disclosure under medical malpractice, licensing board, ethics, confidentiality and other applicable federal and state laws and regulations

In light of these and other risks, health care providers or other Covered Entities contemplating making or facing the need to consider making a NICS report should consider, among other things engaging the assistance of qualified legal counsel experienced with HIPAA and these other matters to assist and advise them about:

  • Reviewing their existing policies and procedures in light of the Final Rule, as well as their state’s current policies regarding the permissibility or requirement to make NICS reports;
  • Updating their written privacy practices and notices of their privacy practices to allow the NICS report in accordance with the Final Rule
    Ensuring that the updated privacy notices are distributed going forward to patients and posted on their websites, in their facilities as required to comply with the Privacy Rule;
  • Exercising care both to verify that all requirements of the Final Rule (or the other alternatives for allowing disclosure) are met and to preserve documentation of this analysis in the event of a future complaint or investigation;
  • Reviewing and adopting additional protocols to manage potential mental health disability discrimination exposures under federal and state disability or other discrimination and laws; and
  • Considering and implementing other processes to manage foreseeable malpractice, breach of medical confidentiality, licensing or ethical requirements or other risks that could result from such disclosures.
