Although HIPAA Compliance is regulated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and enforced by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) it is NOT A LICENSURE REQUIREMENT. Practitioners are, however, required to be updated. The NJDA has elected to add this program into our Licensure Requirement Series offerings.
