HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, establishes privacy rules for protected health information (PHI). It requires individuals to authorize healthcare providers to release their PHI to third parties. Generally, healthcare providers cannot disclose PHI to anyone other than the patient or their agent without consent. HIPAA safeguards an individual’s physical or mental health conditions, healthcare provision, and payment for healthcare expenses. An authorization must include the purpose for information use or disclosure, a description of the PHI, the person authorized to use or disclose the information, and the recipient of the disclosed information.
