Current law requires that covered entities be in compliance with the privacy standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The privacy standards indicate that state laws that are contrary to the federal law will be preempted, except in limited situations.
 
The Florida Hospital Association Management Corporation (FHAMC) has put together a task force to develop a preemption analysis of Florida statutes and regulations. Originally completed in 2002, FHAMC has now moved the preemption analysis into an electronic format, allowing subscribers to access individual statutes and regulations, and to link to both the statute/regulation and to the HIPAA citation used to support the preemption decision. This book is updated annually and can be maintained with an annual subscription fee.
