The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) primarily covers the protection of individuals' medical records and personal health information. It establishes standards for the privacy and security of health data, ensuring that healthcare providers, insurers, and their business associates safeguard sensitive information. HIPAA also grants patients rights over their health information, including the right to access their records and request corrections. Additionally, it facilitates the portability of health insurance coverage for individuals transitioning between jobs.
