Health Insurance And The HIPAA Laws
===================================

Health Insurance And The HIPAA Laws
Your visit to the doctor now contains a page where you sign that you
acknowledge that the physician’s office has notified you about their
compliance with HIPAA laws. More often than not, you probably read
through quickly or barely skim the authorization form before signing
it. However, HIPAA laws are important, and they are in place to
protect you from identity theft, being denied care, and/or health
insurance coverage.

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act, enacted in 1996. HIPAA laws created a new national standard in
protecting your health information. As you see different physicians or
become admitted to different hospitals, your health information should
follow you. HIPAA delineates the need to properly protect your health
information as it flows through to these different channels. As more
and more transactions are completed electronically these days, HIPAA
laws focus on the protection of your health information specifically
through these channels.
So what does HIPAA protect? For you, HIPAA protects personally
identifiable health information, such as your Social Security number,
birth date, address, etc., as well as current, past, or even future
physical and/or mental conditions or treatment. Such information may
not be disclosed except for specific uses. Information that HIPAA does
not cover must specifically be personally non-identifiable. In
protecting this sort of information, there is more protection against
identity theft and more recourse if such a thing should happen.

HIPAA also protects how health insurance providers may use your health
information. These entities may use your information without your
authorization only if they are sending you information, using this
information to provide the best treatment or health care, or
collecting payment on medical expenses, among other things. If
disclosure of your health information does not fall under these
categories, you must authorize the transfer of information in writing.
Furthermore, because the government understands that highly technical
language can be a barrier in understanding your health information
privacy rights, any authorization must be in plain language.
This may all seem like unnecessary paperwork, but beyond identity
theft, HIPAA laws also help those looking for health insurance
coverage. Title 1 of the HIPAA laws oversees the availability and
range of health insurance plans for those without perfect health. It
outlaws any health insurance plan from creating discriminatory rules
to create premium rates or deny coverage.

HIPAA laws are quite extensive, but this gives you a look at how your
health information is being protected and used. Your department of
health should be able to give you further information, or you can
search the government’s Web site for the entire HIPAA law.
