HIPAA and What It Means to You
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) became a federal law in 1996. HIPAA is complex and has many components. Two major areas addressed by HIPAA include:
- Privacy: It provides rules regarding how your health information may be used and disclosed.
- Security: It requires specific security measures to protect health information that is sent or stored electronically.
