What is HIPPA

HIPPA is an abbreviation for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and refers to a bill that was made to protect people from fraud, abuse, improper use of health insurance and all the other aspects related to health.

The bill outlines the health insurance rules and the repercussions of not following them. This bill is made up of two parts. One of the reasons that it was created was to protect people who lose their jobs from losing their health insurance. Even those who have preexisting conditions are protected to make sure that they get access to health insurance.

The second section of this bill mainly deals with the punishments that people will get if they do not follow this.
