FAQs

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA, which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1996. It aims to safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI), improve the efficiency of the healthcare system, and ensure individuals can maintain their health insurance coverage. The main components of HIPAA include the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the HIPAA Security Rule, the HIPAA Enforcement Rule, and the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule.

What is protected health information (PHI)?

PHI stands for Protected Health Information. It refers to any individually identifiable health information, in any form (electronic, paper, or oral), that is created or received by a covered entity (like a healthcare provider or health plan) and relates to a person's past, present, or future physical or mental health, healthcare services, or payment for those services.

How to become HIPAA compliant

To become HIPAA compliant, an organization must first conduct a risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities in how it handles PHI. It should then implement appropriate safeguards, including policies, procedures, employee training, and technical controls, to protect PHI. Regular monitoring, audits, and updates are also crucial for maintaining compliance. Working with legal or compliance experts can help ensure all HIPAA requirements are properly met.
