What is HIPAA?What is HIPAA?
HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This is a federal law that offers you certain protections when transferring your healthcare coverage from one plan to another, limits exclusions for pre-existing conditions, includes provisions that address privacy and security of health data, and prohibits discrimination against you based on your health status, disability, medical history, or genetic information. *All aspects of HIPAA regulation may not be applicable to individual health insurance policies.Permalink • HideDon’t sue us!
