The commissioner must adopt all rules needed to implement this chapter. The rules must:

(2) Protect information that, alone or in combination with other data, could result in the ability to identify a claimant, health care provider, health care facility, or self-insurer involved in a particular claim or collection of claims; and
(3) Specify standards and methods for the reporting by claimants, insuring entities, self-insurers, facilities, and providers.
