1. State the overview of HIPAA Privacy Rules
A major goal of the Privacy Rule is to assure that individuals’ health information is properly protected
while allowing the flow of health information needed to provide and promote high quality health care
and to protect the public's health and wellbeing. The Rule strikes a balance that permits important uses
of information, while protecting the privacy of people who seek care and healing.
Given that the health care marketplace is diverse, as well as designed to be flexible and comprehensive
to cover the variety of uses and disclosures that need to be addressed.Every health care provider,
regardless of size, who electronically transmits health information in connection with certain
transactions, is a covered entity. These transactions include claims, benefit eligibility inquiries, referral
authorization requests, or other transactions for which HHS has established standards under the HIPAA
Transactions Rule.However using electronic technology, such as email, does not mean a health care
provider is a covered entity; the transmission must be in connection with a standard transaction. The
Privacy Rule covers a health care provider whether it electronically transmits these transactions directly
or uses a billing service or other third party to do so on its behalf.The Privacy Rule protects all
individually identifiable health information, held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business
associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The Privacy Rule calls this
information "protected health information (PHI).“Individually identifiable health information” is
information, including demographic data that relates to: the individual’s past, present or future physical
or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to the individual. Individually identifiable
health information includes many common identifiers (e.g., name, address, birth date, Social Security
Number). The Privacy Rule excludes from protected health information employment records that a
covered entity maintains in its capacity as an employer and education and certain other records subject
to, or defined in, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. §1232g.
