In 1996, President Clinton signed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act into law, establishing national standards for electronic health care transactions. The law sets very strict rules as to how medical records are to be handled to safeguard patients’ privacy. This privacy rule applies to “covered entities”; these include:
- Health plans (insurance providers)
- Health care clearinghouses (these may be public or private entities that process or facilitate the processing of health information received from another entity)
- Health care providers
