مستخلص: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is best known for protecting the privacy and security of patients’ medical records. It provides certain patient rights over the access, use, and distribution of personally identifiable health information, as well as criteria for information disclosures and security requirements that health care providers, insurance plans, and clearinghouses must follow. Updates to the law since its enactment have expanded patient rights, regulation of providers’ and plans’ actions, and the enforceability of existing HIPAA regulations. Public health crises such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have brought increased awareness of HIPAA protections and limitations.
