The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) Act is so confusing that even professional firms will often misspell it as HIPPA, leaving less knowledgeable individuals confused about how to ensure compliance for this legislation. It was passed in 1996, and this legislation primarily revolves around protecting patients and their health insurance.
It standardizes the exchange of electronic data related to healthcare and streamlines transactional processes. It also ensures personal health data confidentiality and enforces a set standard for healthcare providers to follow. With a 2016 addition to the HIPAA Act, healthcare providers may be subject to an audit regarding their compliance with HIPAA regulations at any time.
