HIPAA stands for?

• A. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
• B. Health Insurance and Privacy Act.
• C. Health Information Privacy Act.
• D. Health Insurance Privacy and Assurance Act.

Answer: (A)

HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. This U.S. federal law, enacted in 1996, combines three ideas in its name: keeping health insurance coverage when people change or lose jobs (Portability), protecting individuals’ health information (Accountability), and the framework established by a federal Act. The other options alter the official wording—omitting Portability or Accountability, or replacing it with Privacy or Assurance—so they don’t match the formal title of the law.
