2026 To Do: HIPAA Compliance

On this episode of Williams Mullen’s Benefits Companion, host Brydon DeWitt is joined by Nathan Kottkamp, partner in Williams Mullen’s Health Care Section, to break down what HIPAA really means for employers. 

Brydon and Nathan walk through why employer-sponsored health plans trigger HIPAA obligations, what companies actually need to have in place (including policies and procedures), and which types of employee health information fall outside HIPAA’s scope. They also highlight some lesser-known upsides of compliance.
