Life Insurance for Seniors

Hipaa Regulations

HIPAA is the United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.

There are two parts to the Act.

HIPAA Title I deals with protecting health insurance coverage for people who lose or change jobs.

HIPAA Title II includes an administrative section which deals with the standardization of healthcare related information systems. The life insurance industr typically refers to the medical release form as the "HIPAA".

HIPAA created mandatory regulations that require extensive changes to the way that health providers conduct business. HIPAA seeks to establish standardized mechanisms for electronic data interchange, security, and confidentiality of all healthcare-related data.

The Act mandates: standardized formats for all patient health, administrative, and financial data; unique identifiers (ID numbers) for each healthcare entity, including individuals, employers, health plans and health care providers; and security mechanisms to ensure confidentiality and data integrity for any information that identifies an individual.

We strive to comply with all HIPAA confidentiality rules and regulations as a matter of Law and Ethics.
