H.I.P.A.A. stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The original purpose of this Act (established in 1996) was to limit access of insurance companies to your medical records, however it actually limits everyone’s access to your medical records , including:
- Spouses
- Parents
- Children
The HIPAA Authorization allows you to designate certain individuals to receive your protected medical information.
