Regulators of Health Care

Understanding health care regulations can save you money, time and headaches. Watch the video to learn more!

The Affordable Care Act gives you a lot of great benefits such as access to health care even if you have a preexisting condition and free preventive care services for adults, women and children.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is established for the protection of your patient data. Your personal health information is important and should be protected. This is particularly important in the data selling era.

**Correction** In the video I mention HIPAA grants you access to see who has access to your records. In fact, this is HITECH that grants you the ability to see who has accessed your records. Very subtle differences between the two.

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act encourages health care providers to adopt meaningful technology such as electronic health records. More importantly for you, it establishes safeguards for how this information is electronically transmitted when these tools are in use. Knowing how your information is protected in the digital age is critical.
