HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1996 to protect sensitive patient health information. It applies to healthcare providers, insurers, clearinghouses, and their business associates who handle protected health information (PHI).

HIPAA sets strict requirements through its Privacy Rule, Security Rule, Breach Notification Rule, and Enforcement Rule, later expanded by the Omnibus Rule. These rules ensure PHI is used responsibly, kept secure and that patients maintain control over their data. Compliance requires safeguards such as access controls, encryption, staff training, risk assessments, and Business Associate Agreements (BAAs).
