The Health Insurance Portability &
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
originated in the early 1990s under
the Bush Administration, as a group
of healthcare industry leaders were
called together to discuss how
healthcare administration costs could
be reduced. The conclusion was to
increase the use of electronic data
interchange (EDI) within the industry.
Though signed into law on August
21, 1996, repeated delays in
development of the draft rules
prevented final adoption until
late 2000.
