Background
on HIPAA
In 1996, Congress enacted the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The goals of HIPAA are to reduce administrative
costs of healthcare, develop industry standards
for consistency, promote the security and
confidentiality of patient records, and
provide incentive for electronic communication
for the healthcare industry. HIPAA
applies to any health care provider, health
care clearinghouse, or health plan that
maintains or transmits health information
pertaining to individuals.
