HIPAA

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It is a law that was made to help protect your personal health information. So, if you go to the doctor or hospital, they have to keep your information private and secure. It also makes sure that anyone else who sees your information, like an insurance company, can't use it for any other purpose than helping you get the right health care. HIPAA also helps you keep your health info private when you use the internet or the phone to talk to your doctor or get medical advice.
