Demonstrate HIPAA compliance across your network with ease.

What is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law designed to refine the movement and continuity of health insurance coverage in individual and group markets.

Title I of HIPAA compliance: HIPAA ensures health insurance coverage for employees and their families when there is a shift in or loss of jobs.

Title II of HIPAA compliance: Also known as the Administrative Simplification provisions, this section encourages the electronic exchange of healthcare information. These provisions outline the standards and policies for protecting personally identifiable information maintained by healthcare bodies. They also require the establishment of standards for electronic healthcare transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers.

The Omnibus Rule: The Omnibus Rule defines privacy and security requirements for healthcare providers, health plans, and other entities that process health insurance claims. It encompasses requirements for business associates of these entities that hold access to protected health information.

What are the three main rules of HIPAA?

There are three key rules that form the core of HIPAA:

• The privacy rule: It protects the privacy of protected health information (PHI) , balancing patient confidentiality with the need to protect public health.
• The security rule: HIPPA sets forth standards for safeguarding electronic PHI (ePHI). It mandates that covered entities enforce extensive administrative, physical, and technical measures to ensure the security of ePHI.
• The breach notification rule: In situations where there is a breach of unsecured PHI, covered entities along with their business associates are bound to notify the affected individuals, the secretary of health and human services, and in certain circumstances, inform the media.
