HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, does not provide a specific definition of fraud. However, it encompasses various forms of fraud in healthcare, typically referring to intentional deception or misrepresentation to gain unauthorized benefits or payment. This includes practices like billing for services not provided, falsifying patient records, and improper use of patient information. Violations can lead to significant penalties, including fines and imprisonment.

While HIPAA specifically targets unauthorized access to protected health information, the DoD's definition can include various types of security violations affecting sensitive information across different categories. This broader scope reflects the diverse nature of data handled by the DoD, including national security and defense-related information, which may not fall under HIPAA's purview. Consequently, the implications and response requirements for breaches can differ significantly between the two frameworks.
