For patient privacy you are probably referring to the federal Health Information Privacy and Accountability Act (HIPAA). As far as protecting a patients insurance coverage, HIPAA does not specifically serve that function.
HIPAA is a privacy act which protects patient information from getting into the wrong hands. Simply by talkiing about a patients case with name or location mentioned is breaking the act. With this act in place, those who violate the act can faces financial penalties and jail time.
Three of the privacy and confidentiality statutes that VA is required to follow are the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA) Privacy Act. These laws govern the protection of patient information and ensure confidentiality in healthcare settings.
