The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) has created an opportunity for the Healthcare Industry to move from paper claims transactions to electronic transactions using one national standard format for submission of these claims.  In order to comply with HIPAA regulations, providers must update their internal systems or use outsourcing services for their billing needs, through the use of professional medical billing services.  The intent of the legislation was to improve the portability of healthcare benefits by ensuring greater accountability of the administration of health insurance.
