HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) gives individuals more control over their protected health information (PHI) and sets boundaries on the use and release of health records. It establishes appropriate safeguards that “covered entities” which include health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and healthcare providers must implement to protect the privacy of health information. Some examples of PHI include names, addresses, diagnoses, treatment information, account numbers, and other information that can personally identify a patient or health plan member.
