HIPAA, not just an ungainly African animal
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1996.
Title I of HIPAA protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families when they change or lose their jobs.
Title II of HIPAA, the Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance plans, and employers.
The AS provisions also address the security and privacy of health data. The standards are meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the nation's health care system by encouraging the widespread use of electronic data interchange in the US health care system.

[Editors note: This comment has been edited by the publisher becaus it contained a hot link to a website that did not provide any sort of legal documents. It appeared to be a "lead generator" for services selling legal documents and/or a "middleman" service that used the URL to generate hits on Google adwords. The Publisher welcomes any links that provide useful services for free, but the link provided did not seem to provide that, so it was deleted. If the Publisher was wrong, please let me know by posting a comment below. The website for the commentor was also changed to prevent hit generation because once agiain, it provided no information pertaining to the subject matter of the post.- ed.]
