Explanation:

For Question 1:
The three covered entities under HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) are health care providers, health care clearinghouses, and health care plans. Patients are not one of the covered entities.
For Question 2:
The Security Rule under HIPAA addresses electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) held by a covered entity. Paper medical files are more related to the Privacy Rule in some aspects (though there are also security - related aspects for physical records in a broader sense). The Security Rule is not just about financial records of patients or the list of benefits and payments for services by health plans.

Answer:

Question 1: Patients
Question 2: Electronic PHI held by a covered entity
