2610 Notice of Privacy Practice - The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) also requires group health plans to provide a notice explaining the uses and disclosures of protected health information to participants in the plan. All health care assistance programs administered by KanCare, including Medicaid, MediKan, CHIP as well as other state-funded groups (such as tuberculosis coverage) are considered group health plans for purposes of this requirement. The notice must also explain the legal duties and responsibilities of the agency and provide an explanation of the rights of the insured. The Notice of Privacy Practice (NOPP) is used for this purpose.
