Which title of HIPAA focuses on administrative simplification?

The correct answer encompasses Title II of HIPAA, which is specifically dedicated to administrative simplification. This section aims to streamline healthcare transactions, reduce costs, and improve the efficiency of the healthcare system by establishing standardized electronic data interchange (EDI) protocols for various administrative and financial transactions.

Title II also addresses privacy and security provisions to protect individual health information, which aligns with the goals of simplifying administrative processes in healthcare. This focus on standardization means that healthcare entities must follow uniform procedures, thereby reducing the complexity often associated with managing health information and administrative tasks.

In contrast, Title I primarily deals with health insurance reforms, Title III focuses on tax-related health provisions, and Title IV relates to group health plan provisions, none of which specifically address the simplification of administrative processes within the healthcare system.
