Thousands of US organizations must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule. The Security Rule is a key part of HIPAA-federal legislation that was passed into law in August 1996. The overall purpose of the act is to enable better access to health insurance, reduce fraud and abuse, and lower the overall cost of health care in the United States. The medical billing industry has been challenged in recent years due to the introduction of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).HIPAA is a set of rules and regulations which hospitals, doctors, healthcare providers and health plans must follow in order to provide their services appropriately ensuring that there is no breach of confidence while maintaining patient records.
