Overview : HIPAA Compliance

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes a standard for the security of sensitive personally identifiable patient data. It is described as a set of rules that govern the lawful use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI). The Office of Civil Rights enforces hipaa compliance, which is governed by the Department of Health and Human Services (OCR). The Office of Civil Rights is to ensure medical hipaa compliance with the goal of ensuring health insurance portability by removing job lock due to preexisting medical conditions, as well as reducing health care fraud and abuse. Ensure the security and privacy of personal health information through enforcing standards.

Methodology

HIPAA regulation identifies majorly two types of organizations:

Covered Entities - Organizations/entities that gather, create, or transfer personal health information (PHI) electronically. The majority of this is covered by health-care organizations, such as health-care insurance carriers and providers of health-care services.

Business Associates - The organization that encounters PHI in any capacity while working on behalf of a covered entity on a contract basis. Billing businesses, third-party consultants, IT providers, cloud storage providers, and others fall into this category.

HIPAA revolves around the three major regulations
