HIPAA Notice

HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), (Public Law 104 – 191) consists of two major sections: Health Insurance Reform and Administrative Simplification. The Administrative Simplification section calls for the Department of Health and Human Services to develop standards for the format and content of health care transactions and includes provisions regarding:

Standardized electronic transaction formats and code sets
Universal provider, employer, health plan and patient identifiers
Security and privacy for the protection of individually identifiable patient information
Penalties for non-compliance with transaction standards and wrongful disclosure of patient information
As of October 16, 2002, any organization that handles or stores electronic health care data must comply with HIPAA regulations.
