- The Relationship of New Federal Privacy Rules and South Dakota Law: A Basic Guide for South Dakota Physicians Concerning Which Law Governs
The SDSMA’s legal counsel has developed a guide to assist physicians in meeting HIPAA compliance. In cases where new federal rules are more restrictive than current State law in terms of protecting the privacy of patient health information or granting patient rights regarding their own health information, the new federal rules will preempt existing State law and practitioners will need to comply with the more restrictive federal rule. In other cases, existing State law may be more restrictive, or the new federal rules may defer to State law, in which practitioners must continue to comply with State law. The purpose of this HIPAA Compliance Guidebook is to provide South Dakota physicians with some basic guidance concerning which law governs. Complimentary to members on the SDSMA website. Available for purchase for members and non-members.
- To order, contact Donna Toay at 605.336.1965 or download an order form.
- The South Dakota Physician’s Legal Guide
An important tool for professionals working with physicians, medical office personnel and other health care workers, this guide answers important medical-legal questions including contracting and managed care liability, medical ethics and office practice guidelines. Complimentary to members on the SDSMA website. Available for purchase for members and non-members.
