The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Summary
Enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) primarily safeguards health insurance coverage for workers and their families during job changes or losses. This is detailed in Title I of the Act.Article
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), established by Congress in 1996, aims to protect health insurance coverage for employees and their families during employment changes or losses. Title I of HIPAA thoroughly outlines these protections.
Title II of the Act introduces national standards for electronic health care transactions and identifiers for providers, employers, and health insurance plans. It emphasizes the importance of securing and maintaining the privacy of all health data. These standards are designed not to complicate the system but to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the national health care system by promoting the use of electronic data interchange.
Although HIPAA has fostered debate, as do most Congressional acts, its benefits are significant with full compliance. Implementing these changes requires time and investment, which can be challenging. While there is upfront cost, the long-term benefits can outweigh these expenses, although rising health care costs remain a concern.
