Learn the difference between privacy and confidentiality and obstacles to maintaining confidentiality. HIPAA was enacted in 1996 and went into effect in 2002. HIPAA Title II focuses on the security and privacy of protected health information and national standards for its transfer.
Providers can only discuss PHI if it is directly related to treatment. Patient authorization is needed for routine and non-routine use of personal protected health information. Health insurance cannot give out medical information to a patient's potential employer without written consent. Patients must receive written notice of privacy policies.
The Security Rule includes administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Penalties for violating HIPAA can include fines and jail time. HIPAA mandates the use of National Provider Identifiers.
