HIPPA – Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act Protected Health Information
As found on cdc.gov “The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal law that required the creation of national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge.” Pursuant to this rule, the personal records of each patient are kept strictly private and any disclosure of this information is limited only to cases wherein he or she has given express consent.
We are required by applicable federal and state laws to maintain the privacy of your protected health information. PHI is information that may identify you and that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health/condition and related health care services.
