General HIPAA Information
HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It is Federal legislation meant to enable a person to go from one health insurance plan to another with continuity of care and not be denied coverage for a “pre-existing condition” (portability); it details government oversight to protect fraud and finally adds protections for confidentiality of protected health information (PHI) that is collected (accountability).
