Privacy Policy
HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). It was put into place to protect patient
privacy and to ensure privacy of all accumulated health information that belongs to the patient. It was signed into
law in 1996 under the United States Department and Human Services. Healthcare providers nationwide were
required to comply with rules and regulations of privacy protection by April of 2003. Your private health
information is protected by federal law. You have rights regarding your personal information and it provides specific
rules and regulations on who may have access to it.
The HIPPA agreement stated that you must be given the “Notice of Privacy Practices'' statement which belongs to
the facility that you have an appointment with. The notice stated how the healthcare providers use the information
from your personal medical file and when and who they can give the information to. If you are a regular patient at
a facility, you may only have to sign the HIPAA paperwork once and then it will become part of your file. Some
facilities do require you to sign one at every visit however, it depends on the policy of the facility.
Medical staff sign an agreement at least once a year, stating that they are aware of the provisions of the law, that
they understand these laws and they will uphold these laws. These are kept on file at the facility at which they
work. States may differ in their requirements, but the basic privacy laws must be upheld.
You can ask to see your records and to get copies of them at any time. You can have any corrections that you feel
need to be made, included in your chart.
It protects any kind of health information such as office visits, tests, procedures, and diagnosis or other facets of
medical care. Information that is spoken, printed or transmitted electronically all falls under the HIPAA privacy act.
Your healthcare provider does have the right to share your information with:
- Other healthcare professionals involved in your care
- For coordination of your healthcare with other specialist/specialties
- With any family, friend or other people that YOU determine as acceptable, to help with your medical care
and/or finances and billing
Anyone directly involved in your care would have access to your information; doctors, nurses, other medical
personnel, billing offices, any specialist, personnel who perform tests and/or procedures may also have access to
your records for the time that you are in their care.
