The 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, among other things, contained provisions to simplify the administration of health insurance by standardizing the electronic transmission of certain administrative and financial data. It established standards for electronic transactions and proposed rules to protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information. This handbook for health plans, health-care clearinginghouses, and health-care providers who transmit information electronically sets out what the HIPAA standards are, provides compliance checklists, discusses compliance policies and procedures, and includes a glossary and state-by-state capsule of medical privacy statutes.
