The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) offers a tool to help healthcare providers and organizations check whether or not they are considered HIPAA-covered entities.
Visit the CMS Administrative Simplification website to learn about the standards and operating rules that are required for electronic healthcare transactions conducted by HIPAA-covered entities.
