As some of you know, this week is JCEB week here in DC, when the Joint Committee on Employee Benefits meets with all the agencies. This morning we met with HHS Office of Civil Rights, discussing important issues under the HIPAA privacy and security rules. I want to thank the OCR staff for making this such a productive meeting. They really put a lot of time and effort into these meetings, even though they are not required to do so. The Q&As take some time to filter out onto the JCEB website, but I'm sure they will be available hopefully late summer.

While we are pleased to have you contact us by telephone, surface mail, electronic mail, or by facsimile transmission, contacting Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP or any of its attorneys does not create an attorney-client relationship. The formation of an attorney-client relationship requires consideration of multiple factors, including possible conflicts of interest. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when both you and the Firm have agreed to proceed with a defined engagement.
