HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act) Information
The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA, Title II) require the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, health plans, and employers. It also addresses the security and privacy of health data.
FirstCare has adopted these standards which will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our services we provide through the use of electronic data interchange.
