Under HIPAA, a Covered Entity refers to health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses that handle protected health information (PHI). These entities must comply with regulations ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and security of PHI. Key rules include implementing safeguards to protect patient information, limiting disclosures of PHI to the minimum necessary, and providing patients with rights regarding their health information, such as access and amendment rights. Violations of these rules can result in significant penalties and fines.
