Which government agency is responsible for enforcing HIPPA?

  1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

  2. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

  3. The Department of Health and Human Services

  4. National Institutes of Health (NIH)

The correct answer is: The Department of Health and Human Services

The correct answer is C. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is responsible for enforcing HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) regulations. HIPAA is a federal law that protects the privacy and security of patients' medical information. The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces HIPAA rules to ensure healthcare providers and their business associates comply with the law, safeguarding patients' sensitive health information. The other options, such as the CDC, FDA, and NIH, have different roles within the healthcare system and are not specifically responsible for enforcing HIPAA regulations.
