Primary goals of HIPAA law

-


The U.S. Congress passed HIPAA to:
  • Improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage in the group and individual markets
  • Combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and health care delivery
  • Promote the use of medical savings accounts
  • Improve access to long term care services and coverage
  • Simplify the administration of health insurance
HIPAA isn’t only about ensuring the continuation of health insurance for individuals changing employment, but it is about protecting the privacy of patient or health plan member records and any other individually identifiable health information in any form.
In order to enable these sweeping goals, the original HIPAA legislation included a number of titles, each addressing a different facet of the overall objective.
  • Title I: Healthcare Insurance Access, Portability, and Renewability
  • Title II: Preventing Healthcare Fraud and Abuse; Administrative Simplification; Medical Liability Reform
  • Title III: Tax-related Health Provisions
  • Title IV: Application and Enforcement of Group Health Insurance Requirements
  • Title V: Revenue Offsets

India's swashbuckling all-rounder Yuvraj Singh announced his decision to retire from all forms of cricket on Monday (June 10). In nearly two decades at the highest level, since his ODI debut against Kenya in 2000, Yuvraj featured in 40 Tests, 304 ODIs and 58 T20Is, while also playing a pivotal role in India's two big triumphs - the 2007 World T20 and the 2011 World Cup. In a press conference in Mumbai, the 37-year-old made the announcement, saying: "It's was great rollercoaster ride and beautiful story but it has to come to an end. It was the right time to go." Yuvraj was a product on the U-19 set up, impressing with 203 runs in the World Cup in 2000 and making his way to the senior side in less than a year. Though he turned heads with an 80-ball 84 in just his second ODI - against Australia, it wasn't until the run chase in the NatWest series final at the Lord's that made him a household name. A 63-ball 69 after a top-order collapse in chase of 327 ...

Protected health information

-
The HIPAA Privacy Rule protects most individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or medium, whether electronic, on paper, or oral. According to this rule protected health information is information , including demographic information, which relates to: the individual’s past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to the individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual, and that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe can be used to identify the individual. For example, a medical record, laboratory report, or hospital bill would be PHI because each document would contain a patient’s name and/or other identifying information associated with the health data content.
