HIPAA, which stands for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a U.S. law that protects the privacy and security of individuals' medical information. It ensures that healthcare providers, insurance companies, and other organizations keep personal health data confidential and secure. HIPAA is important because it gives you more control over your health information, helps prevent identity theft, and protects sensitive information.
At McNamara Law, we create HIPAA documents, where you decide who can review your medical records. In this document, you decide the names of who can inquire about your medical records, and everyone else is excluded. To learn more about how a HIPAA document can protect your medical privacy, call our office.
