WHAT IS HIPAA?

The HIPAA Privacy Rule was intended to protect patients privacy yet allow providers permission to disclose necessary information.  This is clearly a balancing act if you don't know the rules! Covered entities who must comply with the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), would be the following providers:

• Physicians
• Clinics/Ambulatory Surgery Centers
• Psychologists
• Chiropractors
• Nursing Homes
• Pharmacies

While this is not a comprehensive list, it is meant to be an example of the types of facilities & providers who should obtain training on this important subject.
