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.
