The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit recently ruled that a Florida law requiring nursing homes to disclose patient records of deceased patients was preempted by the Health Insurance Portabil ity and Accountabil ity Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This case is important because it suggests that the question of whether HIPAA or state law is stricter may not always be binary or straightforward, and that in some cases state law wil l be seen as framing or contextualizing HIPAA and in other cases wil l be seen as less protective. Thus, while the HIPAA preemption principle is well-settled, the application of that principle sti l l presents some uncertainty, especially given the varied nature of state law.
