Unity Recovery Group, Inc. (Unity) shared patient information with other covered entities for continuation of substance abuse treatment. It erroneously believed this practice to be an impermissible disclosure and filed a breach report with HHS. After OCR determined that no breach had occurred, OCR provided technical assistance to Unity regarding permissible disclosures for treatment purposes, the difference between “consent” and “authorization” under HIPAA, the definition of a breach of protected health information, when notification must be provided, and when notification is not required. Further, Unity and its affiliates permanently closed on December 31, 2015 with no intention to resume future operations in the same legal entity name.
