HIPAA Statement
HIPAA Statement and Overview
Last Update: September 1, 2018
In 1996, Congress enacted and President Clinton signed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This law ensures continuity of healthcare coverage for individuals changing jobs; includes a provision that impacts on the management of health information; seeks to simplify the administration of health insurance; and aims to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and health care. One purpose of HIPAA is to protect health information by establishing transaction standards for the exchange of health information, security standards, and privacy standards for the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information. HIPAA applies to health plans, health care clearing houses and health care providers. The administrative simplification provision of HIPAA has three major requirements:
- Protection for the privacy of Protected Health Information
- Protection for the security of Protected Health Information
- Standardization of electronic data interchange in healthcare transactions
