How will " HIPAA " effect me or somene else?


on Health Insurance Portability Act effect me or someone else?

HIPAA is there to protect your privacy. As a patient, the only real difference you will see is having to read the HIPAA policy everywhere you get health care. If you worked in a medical billing department, it would affect what information was available to you.

have a look on here

All Hippa dos is help you keep your information private. It helps you and others hope this helps :)

mostly healthcare providers or workers are affected///

HIPPA is what gives us most of our privacy......like who can pick up a script at the doctors. The fact that if you sign in at the dr. they are supposed to cross your name off the list in black marker right away so other people can't read you name and most people don't know that.
what exactly are you getting at?
