HIPAA: Overview

HIPAA impacts every entity that exchanges claim and payment data such as health care providers, public and private health plans, vendors and clearinghouses. HIPAA Administrative Simplification (AS) standards significantly impact all providers conducting electronic transmission of medical data. Billing requirements, claim submission requirements, and possibly even office procedures will need to change to comply with the standard requirements.
