Are We Headed for a Medical Privacy Invasion?
Submitted by Sue Blevins on 7.9.1999
Did you know that if Congress does not pass a medical privacy law by August 21, then the Clinton Administration will be handed the authority to regulate your medical privacy? This deadline, established by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), puts pressure on Congress to act, or be acted upon, to protect the confidentiality of Americans’ medical records.
