What HHS Office governs HIP?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is governed by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The OCR is responsible for enforcing HIPAA's privacy and security rules, ensuring that individuals' health information is protected. Additionally, the OCR handles complaints and conducts investigations related to potential violations of HIPAA regulations.
