Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) Addendum-Template | Required Modifications to Covered Entities’ Notice of Privacy Practices to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy

"On June 18, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order declaring unlawful and vacating most of the HIPAA Privacy Rule to Support Reproductive Health Care Privacy at 89 Federal Register 32976 (April 26, 2024). With regard to the modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rule Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) requirements at 45 CFR 164.520, the court vacated only the provisions that were deemed unlawful, namely 164.520(b)(1)(ii)(F), (G), and (H). The remaining modifications to the NPP requirements are undisturbed and remain in effect, see Carmen Purl, et al. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, et al., No. 2:24-cv-00228-Z (N.D. Tex. June 18, 2025). Compliance with the remaining NPP modifications is required by February 16, 2026. HHS will determine next steps after a thorough review of the court’s decision."
