Medicare has had many legislative changes to modernize the program since it was first signed into law. Medicare has assisted many retirees from a financial disaster by providing benefits during a healthcare crisis. The prescription drug program has ensured seniors have access to the medications they require. Medicare has also provided care to the disabled that are under age 65. This national social healthcare program has also come under fire politically because of the extremely high cost of the program.

HIPAA which stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act was established August 21st in 1996. The bill was signed by Bill Clinton who was president of United States during the following date. HIPAA is used for protecting the privacy of a client’s personal and health information. This policy is also used to providing electronic and physical security of one’s information.

According to Michael Moore,” health care should be between the doctor and the patient. If the doctor says something needs to be done, the government should guarantee it gets paid for.” I strongly agree with Michael Moore’s statement about how health care needs to be confidential. If anything should be done, then the federal government are the ones to offer it. Health information is to help doctors understand their patient’s medical issues, but there are some cases where patient’s medical records are shared with unknown people. Can medical facilities trust their employees with the health information of a patient?

The HIPAA law dictates how our organization not only handles patient privacy and record keeping, but also how we handle patients’ request to view medical records for a variety of reasons. A patient in our organization requested to attain complete access to his records that include psychiatric records as well. Although the HIPAA law grants access to patients, there may be some crucial provisions that require special attention. I have done extensive research to provide our organization with the lawful protocols we must follow in order to protect our organization and our patient’s rights as well. HIPAA’s concise guidelines are what provide our organization and patient a clear stance on our responsibilities as well as limitations in the release

HIPAA is a public federal law gives patients a legal right to keep their health information private and secure, but it also allows healthcare providers to disclose patient information for patient care, as needed (Iron Mountain, 2015). HIPAA included provisions that required the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to adopt national standards for electronic health care transactions, unique patient identifiers, and security (Ong, 2011). Being aware that advances in electronic technology would risk the privacy of health information, Congress also included provisions that mandated privacy protections for individually identifiable health information. HIPAA is the first government mandate that regulates how healthcare providers share

The regulation I choose to discuss is the Health Insurance and Accountability Act also known as HIPAA. The reason I choose this regulation due to being a licensed Health and Medicare agent this is something I have to comply with each and every day in order to protect my licenses and my clients. This was established on August 21, 1996 and what this regulation does is protect confidential information pertain to health information. This healthcare regulation protects patients, pharmacies, covered entities and healthcare business associates. This act protects the patients by making sure there information is protected by the federal law and it should only be disclosed if the patients give you the proper authorization or consent to disclose this

In 1996, a set of federal regulations known as HIPPA was established. HIPPA provided comprehensive protection and guidance regarding how patient information can be used, stored, disclosed and maintained by healthcare providers (Alexander et al., 2018). The HIPPA law addressed the privacy and security of personal health information, continuation of health insurance coverage for employed people, and reduction in Medicare fraud and abuse (Alexander et al., 2018). The segment of HIPAA receiving the most public attention was the privacy and security regulations section. The Department of Health and Human Services developed privacy rules focusing on the protection of patient health information communicated in any manner: verbal, paper, visual, or

The Health Insurance Probability Accountability Act HIPAA impact on health information systems requires that covered entities implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that appropriately and reasonably protect integrity, confidentiality and availability of the electronic protected health information (PHI) that it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits (Health information privacy and law, 2014).

Each policy that has been formulated and brought forth to legislation goes through its many challenges and analyzation before being implemented and becomes a policy and part of legislation. The statutes of HIPAA were brought forth and formulated in hopes of regulating covered entities and providing a type of universal protection of patient information and data. There is no doubt that the policy for HIPAA created skepticism about health privacy laws and the impact that it would have on the health care industry and its professionals.

A number of hip replacement surgeries are performed annually, resulting in considerable health care costs (1). The volume of hip replacement procedures has steadily grown and in 2012-2013 alone increased by 19.1% since 2009-2010 (1). Unplanned hospital readmissions are common, costly and an undesired outcome for the client, clinician and healthcare system (2). The average readmission cost following a surgical complication is estimated at $36,038 for total hip replacement and in the past two decades the readmission rates for hip replacement has increased from 5.9% to 8.5% (2). Hip replacement costs, wait times, volumes and client outcome improvements continue to be a concern for local and provincial governments (1).
