HIPAA
Statewide Project
Implementing
the Health Insurance and Portability Act
|

 HIPAA
is the single most significant Federal legislation affecting the
health care industry since the creation of the Medicare and Medicaid
programs in 1965. Title I of the Act improves the portability and
continuity of health insurance coverage for millions of American
workers and their families. Title II provides for administrative
simplification that requires the development of standards for the
electronic exchange of health care information. Administrative simplification
also requires rules to protect the privacy of personal health information
and the establishment of security requirements to protect that information
and the development of standard identifiers. In order to effectively
implement the HIPAA Administrative Simplification provisions, the
Governor's Office has organized a statewide project composed of
state agencies that may be affected
by its requirements.
