The City performs functions as a health care provider and health plan that make it subject to HIPAA. The City also performs many functions that are unrelated to health care and are not subject to compliance with HIPAA. The City is, therefore, a single legal entity that engages both in health care functions covered by HIPAA, and also in non-HIPAA-covered functions. Accordingly, the City is hereby designated as a Hybrid Entity.
