The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) website, Title I of HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs. Title II of HIPAA, known as the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers. It helps people keep their information private.

Thank you for posting that. Some people might not have known the details of HIPPA. Also, HIPPA is one of the forms that you sign at the doctors office, hospital, mental health provider, pharmacy and other health related agencies.

This plan i sa wonderful piece of legislation in a fantasy world. All in all, the usual communist paperwork. |
