HIPAA requires all health care providers, including physicians, hospitals, health plans,
pharmacies, public health authorities, insurance companies, billing agencies, information
systems sales and service providers, and others, to ensure the privacy and confidentiality of
patients.
HIPAA regulations require several major patient protections:
Patients are able to see and obtain copies of their medical records, generally within 30 days of
their request, and to request corrections if they detect errors. Providers may charge patients
for the cost of copying and mailing the records.
Providers must give patients written notice describing the provider's information practices and
explaining patients' rights. Patients must be asked to agree to these practices by signing or
initialing the notice.
Limitations are placed on the length of time records can be retrieved, what information can be
shared, where it can be shared, and who can be present when it is shared.
