The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), is a useful federal law in the United States that regulates the privacy and security of protected medical information (HIPAA) (the “Law”).

The purpose of this guide is to help overseas companies comply with the law, whether by virtue of a subdivision by law or by virtue of a commercial requirement originating from the Company’s customers. The general guide of the law and I will adopt the rules of its provisions, among other things, since it is mainly for private general provisions (as this term is explained below), which in our opinion is the most relative guide to Israeli companies in our clientele.
