Answer
A
poor-quality medical care
B
rejection of insurance claims
C
open sharing of confidential doctor visits
D
exchange of information between computer systems

HIPAA includes privacy protections that limit when a patient’s confidential health information can be shared and with whom. So it is intended to protect patients from open sharing of confidential doctor visits. It does not guarantee high-quality care or prevent insurance claims from being rejected.
