HIPAA
The federal Privacy Rule that took effect in 2003 under the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is based on fair information practices and represents a landmark in health privacy protection. Notwithstanding more than five years of experience in implementing the Privacy Rule, myths about its provisions still persist.
