HIPAA - the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act - was passed by Congress in 1996. HIPAA provides the ability to transfer and continue health insurance coverage for millions of American workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs; reduces health care fraud and abuse; mandates industry-wide standards for health care information on electronic billing and other processes and requires the protection and confidential handling of protected health information.
