Covered Entity

HIPAA covers health care providers, health plans (including an employer's sponsored plans), and health care clearing houses (e.g., billing agents). These HIPAA-impacted organizations are called Covered Entities. Stanford Hospital, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and portions of Stanford University are all Covered Entities, both as healthcare providers and through their ERISA health benefit plans.
