Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act was a bill passed by our previous congress to help protect patient information sharing between insurance companies and expedite health insurance payments.
This created a new regulatory agency for health care providers. It has now become a major issue for every health care provider to become compliant, if they choose to help their patient’s bill health insurance plans.
Health care consumers must now give written permission to their provider to be able to share information, which is considered private. In the end this regulatory act will increase bureaucracy and decrease efficiency for everyone involved.
