What is HIPAA?
HIPAA stands for The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Title II of HIPAA,
known as the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national
standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health
insurance plans, and employers. More information can be found at hhs.gov/hipaa.
