Most people know the HIPAA Law applies to healthcare providers (hospitals, doctors, dentists, ophthalmologists). Fewer people realize that HIPAA also applies to health insurance agents, employers who offer health benefits to their employees, and to business associates (shredding companies, IT vendors, etc.) who can access an individual’s Protected Health Information.
