The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a law that was passed in 1996, designed primarily to modernize the flow of health information. At the time, most medical records were in paper form, but it was becoming clear that health data would become digital in the future.
A. Privacy, the first HIPAA Rule, went into effect April 14, 2003. More Rules were phased in over time. The Security Rule is the latest one. It took effect April 20, 2005.arylandâs laws protect the confidentiality and privacy of patient health information. Most of these laws are set out in Title 4 of the Health Occupations Article of the Maryland Code (http://mlis.state.md.us). To the extent Maryland law is more stringent than HIPAA Rules, Maryland law applies.
