PLEASE HELP ASAP! BRAINLIEST

I just need main points in order to understand.

1. Define what the HIPAA is

2. List the steps in order that a medical assistant needs to follow in order to make sure that they are complying with the HIPAA guidelines to preserve patient information and privacy

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) required the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop regulations protecting the privacy and security of certain health information.

HIPAA states that healthcare providers must implement “physical measures, policies and procedures to protect a covered entity’s electronic information systems and related buildings and equipment from natural and environmental hazards, and unauthorized intrusion.”

It could include validating a person’s need to access certain information or include the use of privacy filters to help give organizations more flexibility to place devices in locations that maximize productivity while helping to protect sensitive information from side-angle views.

answer: Major medical insurance policies provide coverage for catastrophic or prolonged illnesses and injuries. Most of these programs have large deductibles and lifetime maximum amounts.
