Abstract
Many laws, such as the American Disability Act (ADA), the American Disability Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) were meant to aid those individuals who have impairment in functioning. The ADA and ADAAA were designed to help individuals with impairment in functioning to continue to work. HIPAA was meant to make insurance portable so that if an individual left a job, then she/he would not be without insurance. However, unintentional consequences have arisen from these laws that may negatively impact on the individual’s ability to continue to work.
In addition, the recent changes to the DSM-5 and the legal mandate to use the ICD-10 diagnostic systems have also caused confusion for many treating professionals. Some of these issues that arise with these changes are discussed.
