Privacy Policy

HIPAA Privacy Regulations

On December 28, 2000, The Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) published the final regulations providing Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information in the Federal Register. This final rule implements the privacy provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and sets forth complex limitations on the use of individually identifiable health information by most health care providers, plans and clearinghouses. In the past privacy protections have been inconsistent and based on individual state laws. These new federal regulations take effect on April 14, 2003

Simply stated, all patients have federally guaranteed rights concerning the use of their health care records.
