HIPAA - the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 requires all "covered entities" to become compliant with the requirements of the law. A "covered entity" is a provider of health care services, a health plan (including employers who provide insurance coverage for their employees), and health care clearing houses. The requirements include:
- Transactions & Code Sets - Sets standards for electronic claims and other administrative transactions.
- Privacy rules - Establishes certain patient rights and defines when and how protected healthcare information (PHI) can be used or disclosed.
- Security rules - Describes requirements for protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information.
- Identifier Rules - Sets standards for the identification of providers, employers, health plans and individuals.
