Description

William J. Scanlon (ed). To provide minimum standards of protection for health insurance sold in all states & insurance markets, Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which the president signed on Aug. 21, 1996. This law sets standards for access, portability, & renewability that apply to group coverage -- both fully insured & self-funded -- as well as to individual coverage. This report monitors the process of implementing the law, concentrating on issues affecting: consumers; issuers of health coverage, including employers & insurance carriers; state insurance regulators; & fed. regulators.
