Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act – HIPAA

HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, was signed into law in 1996 (PS-104-191). Designed to combat fraud and abuse in health care, standardize health-care transactions and implement privacy controls on patient records, HIPAA applies to all health-care providers that conduct electronic transactions for health claims and related information.
