The federal Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act (HIPAA) requires most health plans and health care providers to issue a Notice of Privacy Practices to the people they serve. The Notice describes how individual health information is used and disclosed. It also describes rights individuals have such as accessing or requesting changes to their health records, or receiving an accounting of where their information has been disclosed. DHFS has issued Notices for several program areas. Click on the links below to view each Notice. For more information, contact the individual or office listed in each Notice.
