Patient Information On HIPAA

What is HIPAA?

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

Who Created HIPAA?

The U.S. Congress in 1996

What is the Goal of HIPAA?

To protect people's personal health information including name, phone number, social security number, health conditions, etc.

How is it Going to Work?

HIPAA requires that your personal information can be used only to provide you with patient care

HIPAA requires businesses with such information to have a plan in place to protect your private records from getting into the wrong hands
