Specialty Physical Therapy fully complies
with the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
This act was the result of efforts by the
Clinton Administration and congressional healthcare reform
proponents to reform healthcare. The goals and objectives of
this legislation are to streamline industry inefficiencies,
reduce paperwork, make it easier to detect and prosecute
fraud and abuse and enable workers of all professions to
change jobs, even if they (or family members) had
pre-existing medical conditions.
The HIPAA legislation had four primary
objectives:
- Assure health insurance portability
by eliminating job-lock due to pre-existing medical
conditions
- Reduce healthcare fraud and abuse
- Enforce standards for health
information
- Guarantee security and privacy of
health information
