How often must health plans remind members of their privacy policy?

Health plans are required to remind members of their privacy policy at least once every three years. This requirement is part of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, which ensure that individuals are informed about their privacy rights regarding their medical information and how that information may be used and disclosed. The communication of the privacy policy is essential in maintaining transparency and trust between the health plans and their members. Furthermore, regular reminders help to reinforce the importance of privacy protections and ensure that members are aware of any updates to policies or procedures related to their personal health information.
