What is HIPAA?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act is a law that was established in 1996 to protect the health information of patients. The standards that have been set forth by this act give you the right to receive a copy of your medical information, review it and determine if it is correct, and identify who has seen it and/or shared it. Typically, your copies must be released to you within 30 days of your written request. To learn more about civil rights related to your healthcare records,
