The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a United States legislature. It was created mainly to ensure data privacy and security provisions for protecting medical information. Under HIPAA, PHI stands for Protected Health Information. It refers to discretely identifiable data concerning an individual's present, future, and past health status gathered, transmitted, or preserved by HIPAA. Health information like diagnoses, medical test results, and treatment information get considered by HIPAA as protected health information (Gips 787).
