It’s no secret that the use of Meta Pixels and other online tracking opens organizations up to legal risk, especially in the health care industry. Despite ongoing litigation against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR), OCR did not significantly modify its online tracking guidance, and there is no immediate regulatory relief in sight for the health care industry. In the latest Coppersmith Brief, Kristen Rosati and Erin Dunlap outline the significant regulatory, litigation and financial risks faced by health care entities when using online tracking. They also explain three modifications to OCR’s guidance, regarding whether IP addresses are PHI, the use of Customer Data Platforms, and the need to consider online tracking in the security risk analysis and...

In a high-stakes case that will determine the future of access to abortion in Arizona, attorney Andy Gaona represented Planned Parenthood Arizona in an oral argument before the Arizona Supreme Court this week. The question before the court is which of two abortion laws controls in Arizona – a law first enacted during the Civil War that bans nearly all abortions, or one enacted just last year under which physicians can provide abortion care through 15 weeks. Last December, the Arizona Court of Appeals held that the more recent law controls, and that physicians can’t be prosecuted under the pre-statehood law.
