The last A stands for "Act".
It's the HIPA Act.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
Not HIPPA. Thank you.

That's the thing with acronyms. If one doesn't really know what the letters stand for, then it is easy to get the acronym wrong.

Many of us have corrected it, but no one seems to get it.

Try googling "HIPPA -HIPAA" (without the quotes).
An awful lot of people that should really know better are misspelling it.
