The Five Titles of HIPAA While most of the HIPAA focus is on Titles I and II (and we cover more on Title II next week) there are actually five sections to HIPAA. It is far more than simply a "privacy law" as is often said. The overarching goal of HIPAA is to protect the public. Title I: Protects health insurance coverage for workers and their families that change or lose their jobs. It limits new health plans the ability to deny coverage due to a pre-existing condition. Title II: Prevents Health Care Fraud and Abuse; Medical Liability Reform; Administrative Simplification that requires the establishment of national standards for electronic health care transactions and national identifiers for providers, employers, and health insurance plans. Title III: Guidelines for pre-tax medical spending accounts. It provides changes to health insurance law and deductions for medical insurance. Title IV: Guidelines for group health plans. It provides modifications for health coverage. Title V: Governs company-owned life insurance policies. Makes provisions for treating people without United States Citizenship and repealed financial institution rule to interest allocation rules. (https://www.ncbi.nim.nih.gov/books/NBK500019/)
