| What
is HIPAA?
HIPAA
stands for the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act of
1996.
This
bill was passed to give patients
more control over their health
information, set boundaries
on the use and release of health
care information, and to help
establish appropriate safeguards
to your health information.
We
are required by applicable federal
and state law to maintain the
privacy of your health information.
We are also required to provide
information about our privacy
practices, our legal duties,
and your rights concerning your
health information.
You

an acknowledgement of receipt
of these policies. You may request
a copy of our Notice at any
time. For more information about
