HIPAA is the acronym for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. It is a federal law that has been amended to the Internal Revenue Code of 1996. It was designed to improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage in group and individual markets.

Title–I HIPAA Compliance - HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose jobs.

Title-II HIPAA Compliance - 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. AS provisions also address the security and privacy of health data. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the US health care system.

Omnibus HIPAA Rulemaking (2013)

HIPAA / HITECH Omnibus Final Rule came into effect in late March 2013, with a 180-day safe compliance period that recently ended on September 23, 2013. The rule greatly enhances a patient’s privacy protections, provides individuals new rights to their health information, and strengthens the government’s ability to enforce the law. The HIPAA privacy and security rules have focused on health care providers, health plans and other entities that process health insurance claims. The changes announced today expand many of the requirements to business associates of these entities that receive protected health information, such as contractors and subcontractors.

In Short:

  1. Implement or Update Security Policies and Procedures.
  2. Enter Into or Update Business Associate Agreements.
  3. Update or Implement Privacy Policies and Procedures.
  4. Update HIPAA Privacy Notices.
  5. Conduct HIPAA Compliance Training.
