Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Administrative Simplification
The Administrative
Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 (HIPAA, Title II) require the Department of Health and Human
Services to establish national standards for electronic health care transactions
and national identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers. It
also addresses the security and privacy of health data. Adopting these
standards will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's
health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data
interchange in health care.
