HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The act’s primary purpose was to make it easier for employees to continue health care insurance with minimal disruption when changing employers. However, there were many other significant parts of the legislation, including the nationalization of claims procedures and improvement of accountability. The Privacy Rule is just one part of the accountability rules.

The Privacy Rule creates national standards to protect an individual's medical records and other personal health information. The CCIU has adopted a number of practices that ensure compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The procedures adopted due the HIPAA requirements can be downloaded and viewed by clicking on HIPAA Employee Letter.

The intermediate unit has also established a mechanism to allow the reporting of any matter that may be an issue of non-compliance with the intermediate unit’s HIPAA Privacy Policy.
