Compliance Experts
Understanding Compliance
The Health Insurance Accountability and Portability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bill Clinton. This Act mandates that health care providers and other covered entities implement comprehensive privacy of protected health information of patients. HIPAA regulations cover three important areas: information privacy, information security, and standardization of transaction code sets.
