Really? My healthcare providers just ask I let them know if I change insurance or my insurance coverage changes in some way (whatever time of year that might happen). I've never had to fill our new HIPAA forms beyond the first time. My therapist has only raised his rate once since I started seeing him. I can't remember if it was at the beginning of a calendar year or not. There were notices out about six weeks before the rates went into effect. It didn't really change anything for me personally because I use insurance.

I've honestly never found that anything new happens regarding the start of a new year unless I actually had an insurance change at that point.
