HIPAA Benefits

With all of HIPAA’s complexities and nuances it is easy to overlook the potential long-term benefits.  HIPAA was enacted by Congress to reform the insurance market and simplify the administration of healthcare.  HIPAA is intended to facilitate efficiency improvements by standardizing electronic data interchange, and to ensure the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information.  The efficiency gains could help reduce claim processing and administration costs, enhance the accuracy of data and reports, and increase patient satisfaction.  Organizations covered by HIPAA regulations include providers, payors and transaction clearinghouses.  HIPAA affects those who perform services or receive protected health information.
