Paper Summary:

It defines the HIPPA law, which provides certain protections that are guaranteed to citizens of the United States who have preexisting medical conditions.

From the Paper:

"On August 21, 1996 a new law was signed called the Health Insurance Portability and Accounting Act of 1996, which is abbreviated as HIPPA (HEP-C, 2003 & Regence, 2003). The law guarantees many things to American workers, including continuous healthcare coverage for people who are changing jobs (DC, 2003). HIPPA also includes a provision that details the manner in which health information can be disbursed, and also seeks to combat waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and health care (DC, 2003). Recently rules and regulations were developed by the government that mandate new requirements for creation, storing, transmittal and care of health related data manually and electronically (DC, 2003). Additionally, a Privacy Rule was enacted that regulates the manner in which private medical and health information can be shared or disseminated among health care entities and health plan providers, which includes employers (Regence, 2003)."
