Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
HIPAA is a United States legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. It applies to healthcare providers, insurance companies, and any third parties that process or manage patient health data (PHI – Protected Health Information).
HIPAA compliance ensures that organizations implement the necessary administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect sensitive health information. It also defines patients’ rights to access their health data and mandates breach notification protocols.
While HIPAA is a U.S.-based regulation, it serves as a global benchmark for handling personal health information securely and ethically in health-tech platforms, telemedicine, insurance, and healthcare administration.
