The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Privacy Rule became effective April 14, which means it's time to pay
attention if you haven't done so already.
HIPAA is a set of federal regulations intended to protect and simplify
the exchange of health care data. Compliance deadlines have been
stretched out over the next few years. Compliance means doing
everything in your power to follow the letter and spirit of the law
without going out of business.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule is federal law, and anyone not in compliance
can face up to $250,000 in fines and jail time of up to 10 years. The
rule applies to electronic protected health information --
essentially, patients' medical records and other personal health care
information. It affects companies that transmit protected health
information in electronic form, which includes health plans, health
care clearinghouses and health care providers. These organizations are
referred to as "covered entities."
