In 1996, a federal law was passed that prevents health insurers from denying coverage based on genetic information for individuals moving between group health insurance plans. This federal law is known as:
A. Privacy Act
B. Civil Liberties Act
C. HIPAA
D. Americans with Disabilities Act
E. GINA
C. HIPAA
In addition to state laws against genetic discrimination and GINA at the federal level, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) passed in 1996 prevents health insurers from denying coverage based on genetic information. HIPAA, however, applies only to individuals moving between group health insurance plans. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 also offers some protection against genetic discrimination in the workplace.
