According to US Department of Health and Human Services, agencies create regulations under the authority of Congress to help government carry out public policy. One of which is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act privacy policy which establishes nationwide standards as regards the use and disclosure of protected health information. This paper will examine it enactment, content and subsequent adjustments/accommodations since establishment in 1996, with a focus on entities or business associate, in charge of any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. The vast amounts of people’s digitized records already collected for billing and claims, in various specialized databases can be a two-edged sword: it has a potential for discovering more about disease processes and care outcomes on the other hand, these also create possibilities for excluding the individual(s) on the records from care. The later is the focal point of the paper.
