HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The HIPAA Privacy Rule created national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information. These privacy rights protect your health information. These rights are important for you to know.

You can exercise these rights, ask questions about them, and file a complaint if you think your rights are being denied or your health information isn't being protected.
