Yes, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) applies to federal civilian agencies that handle protected health information (PHI). These agencies must comply with HIPAA's privacy and security requirements, particularly if they provide health care services or engage in health care transactions involving PHI. Additionally, federal employees who work in health care settings within these agencies are subject to HIPAA regulations to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of health information.

What is the difference in Indiana OSHA and Federal OSHA?

Federal OSHA is an agency in the US Department of Labor that is responsible for issuing workplace safety and health standards, and for inspecting covered workplaces to confirm compliance. Federal OSHA regulations apply to private sector employers of employees, and by Executive Order to some agencies of the Federal Government. They do not apply to State or local governments and most Federal government agencies, except in so far as those agencies decide on their own to use them. By a recent Act of Congress, Federal OSHA regulations now also apply to Congressional workplaces. Indiana OSHA is a state agency authorized by OSHA to operate an occupational safety and health regulatory process within the state of Indiana. Their regulations must be at least as effective as those of Federal OSHA, but they may be more effective. As a condition of being permitted to operate this process in Indiana in place of the Federal organization, Indiana OSHA is required to cover public sector employment as well as private sector. In return, Federal OSHA reimburses Indiana up to 90% of the cost of the state program.
