Frequently Asked Questions
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that defines the required privacy and security standards, both electronic and physical, of patient health information (PHI). HIPAA compliance is applicable to all covered entities, including any individual or organization that provides treatment, payment, and operations in healthcare. Business associates, including third and fourth-party organizations with access to patient information, are also required to be compliant. Violation of HIPAA privacy, security, and enforcement rules can result in penalties—making it vital for healthcare organizations and other covered entities to be HIPAA compliant.
