HIPAA: Your Right To Privacy

HIPAA: The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

Health Information Privacy The Office for Civil Rights enforces the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information; the HIPAA Security Rule, which sets national standards for the security of electronic protected health information; and the confidentiality provisions of the Patient Safety Rule, which protect identifiable information being used to analyze patient safety events and improve patient safety.

“Your privacy is our priority.” Protected Health Information The Privacy Rule protects all “individually identifiable health information” held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or media, whether electronic, paper, or oral. This information is known to the Privacy Rule as “protected health information (PHI).”

“Individually identifiable health information” is information, including demographic data, that relates to: •

The individual’s past, present or future physical or mental health or condition,



The provision of health care to the individual, or



The past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual

And that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe it can be used to identify the individual.
