HIPAA act
The HIPAA Act is the primary protector of patient privacy in the healthcare industry. The HIPAA Act has led to strict standards allowing individuals to take control of their own medical records, choosing what to whom to disclose. HIPAA has been providing the public with this right since 1996.
All healthcare providers and medical billers are required to protect the security of private health information. If an entity fails to comply with the security measures provided within the HIPAA Act, the offending party could face harsh penalties.
The information security mandates are three-fold: physical, technical, and administrative. First, protected information must be placed in a secure location that is not accessible to those without the proper security clearances. Second, technical security must be in place to prevent a data breach from occurring over the Internet or related technologies. Lastly, administrative protection must be applied in the workplace. These come in the form of policies that prevent inappropriate employee access to protected health information.
