New Rules for the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) affect practices common among health plans and employers, such as providing rewards for completing Health Risk Assessments, screening individuals for participation in disease management programs, and collecting information for underwriting. A proposed rule would affect health plans’ use and disclosure of genetic information and require the issuance and publication of revised privacy practices notices. Learn from the regulators who drafted the Rules what they mean and how they may affect what you do.
