What three types of covered entities are specified in the HIPAA privacy rule?

Answer:

In the rule, there are:

  • Providers -- givers of healthcare.
  • Payers -- often insurance companies
  • Clearing houses or repricers -- computerized operations that converted prices.

Since then, Medicare has announced that, while not covered by HIPAA, they will adopt the HIPAA tenets and treat themselves as a covered entity.
