A covered entity is a term used in the context of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to refer to organizations that handle protected health information (PHI). This includes healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses that transmit health information in electronic form. Covered entities are required to comply with HIPAA regulations to safeguard patient data and ensure privacy and security.
