Is Pharma Ready for HIPAA?

Although most experts agree that pharmaceutical companies are not covered entities under HIPAA, this does not mean that pharma marketers should not worry about it. Pharma needs to realize that HIPAA will have a significant impact on the commercial side of their business. One effect, for example, will be HIPAA's influence on state medical privacy laws, which may directly affect pharmaceutical companies and their advertising and marketing partners. This article is a summary of a presentation by Brent Saunders, Partner, PricewaterhouseCoopers. The presentation was made at the Pharmaceutical Regulatory & Compliance Congress and Best Practices Forum held at the Philadelphia Marriott Hotel on November 13-15, 2002.

Texas Medical Privacy Act: A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?

Anyone who is even a casual reader of Pharma Marketing News knows that we support consumers' right to privacy and believe that pharmaceutical marketers need to beef up their privacy policies if they hope to improve consumer trust. So it may surprise you when we say that a new Texas privacy law goes too far in its apparent zeal to protect patients' privacy. In fact, we believe that this law's real purpose is to limit the ability of pharmaceutical companies and their agents to communicate product information directly to consumers in Texas. The privacy law we talking about is the Texas Medical Privacy Act (SB 11). SB 11 is known in some quarters as 'super HIPAA' because it applies super-stringent HIPAA-like privacy regulations to pharmaceutical companies, their advertising/ marketing agencies and other entities - even individuals. A covered entity under SB 11 is any person who assembles, collects, analyses, uses, evaluates, stores, or transmits protected health information. The law becomes effective in Texas September 1, 2003.
