What does it mean for the University?

What does it mean for you?

HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is the federal legislation intended to guard personal health information. Implemented in 2003, the Privacy Regulations of this law have shaped the way health care services are delivered and health- related information is preserved.

HIPAA has impacted the University of Connecticut in unique ways—from how it monitors students’ health records to how specific units within the University deliver services to a broad spectrum of consumers.
