HIPAA and What it Means to You:

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) became a federal law in 1996. HIPAA is complex and has many components. Two major areas addressed by HIPAA include:

1. Privacy. It provides rules regarding how your health information may be used and disclosed.
2. Security. It requires specific security measures to protect health information that is sent or stored electronically.
