What are the main objectives of HIPAA?

• Accountability. HIPAA hopefully will reduce waste, fraud, and abuse. New penalties will be imposed.

• Insurance Reform. HIPAA offers continuity and portability of health insurance, as well as providing limits on pre-existing provisions.

• Administrative simplification. HIPAA mandates standards on electronic data transactions in a confidential and secure manner.

Who must comply with HIPAA?
Any healthcare provider that electronically stores, processes or transmits medical records, medical claims, remittances, or certifications must comply with HIPAA regulations.
