Health insurance portability and accountability (HIPAA) is a set of federal laws that allow individuals to maintain their current health coverage when moving between states.
A law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was signed into law in 1996 by President Bill Clinton with the intent to ensure that people should have access to medical care. It was passed to protect patients' privacy and make sure that medical information is kept confidential. The law makes sure that health insurance providers are held accountable for the quality of their services.
The intent of HIPAA is to provide affordable, reliable health care options to every American, regardless of where they live or what plan they have. While this may not seem like an important goal, it has real consequences for those who need medical attention or medications.
