HIPAA
Effective April 14, 2003, a new federal law went into effect: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or "HIPAA". One of the purposes of HIPAA is to ensure health care providers who collect health care information about individuals have procedures in place to keep the information private. Because the Bismarck Special Education Department bills Medicaid for some services, it is considered a "health care provider" under the law. Prior to billing Medicaid, the Department provides parents with a Notice of Privacy Practices.
