The National Institutes of Health researchers published their research in the Journal of the American Medical Assn.

HHS fines health insurance company $4.3 million for HIPAA violation. The Dept. of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights issued a Notice of Final Determination finding that Prince George’s County, Md.-based Cignet Health violated the Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). HHS imposed a civil money penalty of $4.3 million for the violations, which represents the first such penalty it issued for a covered entity’s violations of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the department said.

Each time, freshman Rep. Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.) opposed it, and he was the lone Republican dissenter twice, reports The Hill.
