| HIPAA In Plain English What
Is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act (HIPAA) was passed into law in August of 1996. The intent of the
legislation was to improve the portability and continuity of health
benefits, to ensure greater accountability in the area of healthcare
fraud, and to simplify the administration of health insurance. A wide
range of compliance deals with health information management, security
and privacy standards.
