HIPAA Electronic Transaction and Code Sets Standards(WRONG) HITECH ACT!
The HIPAA Act (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and the HITECH Act (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) are both integral to the protection of health information in the U.S. HIPAA establishes standards for the privacy and security of health data, while HITECH enhances these protections by promoting the adoption of electronic health records (EHR) and strengthening enforcement of HIPAA rules. HITECH also introduced provisions for breach notification and increased penalties for HIPAA violations, further reinforcing the importance of safeguarding patient information in the digital age. Together, they work to ensure both the privacy and security of health information in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.

The HIPAA Privacy Act statement outlines the rights of individuals regarding their protected health information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) focuses specifically on the protection of health information and sets standards for the privacy and security of individuals' medical records and other personal health information. In contrast, the Privacy Act of 1974 governs the collection, use, and dissemination of personal information by federal agencies, ensuring that individuals have rights regarding their data held by the government. While HIPAA applies primarily to healthcare providers, insurers, and their business associates, the Privacy Act encompasses a broader range of federal entities and personal data. Both laws aim to protect individual privacy but do so in different contexts and scopes.
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.
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.
