About HIPAA: In 1996, Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ("HIPAA"). HIPAA was designed to reduce the administrative costs of healthcare, to promote the confidentiality and portability of patient records, to develop standards for consistency in the health care industry, and to provide an incentive for electronic communications.
All health care providers, health plans and clearinghouses that electronically maintain or transmit health information pertaining to individuals must currently have data security standards in place. |
