HIPAA Privacy Notice

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It is a federal law which protects the privacy of your medical information. Rules under this law, which became effective on April 14, 2003, give you more knowledge about and control over who is using your medical information and for what purposes.
