The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by
Congress in 1996 (Public Law 104-91) to reform the health care system in the
United States. The "administrative simplification" provisions of the
law are intended to improve the administrative efficiency and effectiveness of
the health care system. One of the efficiency measures requires that
certain enumerated transactions electronically transmitted by covered entities
(health insurers, health care clearinghouses and health care providers that
engage in electronic transactions) be conducted using national, uniform
standards.
