| Description: |
HIPAA is an acronym we will all be seeing frequently in the next few years. The HIPAA law, though passed in 1996, is being implemented over several years. According to this law, health plans, health care clearinghouses and health care providers who conduct certain financial and administrative transactions electronically are considered "covered entities." All covered entities need to read and understand their obligations under the various rules of this law
