HIPAA Notice

This website and HIPAA

HIPAA, the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, protects health information held by health care providers and health plans. This website is educational. It isn't a patient portal and doesn't store medical records.

Your care at the practice

When you are a patient of Dermatology & Skin Health, your health information is protected under HIPAA and described in the practice's Notice of Privacy Practices. You can ask the practice for a copy at any visit.

Please keep health details out of email and forms

Email and website forms aren't a secure way to share medical information. When you write to [email protected], please include only what's needed to arrange an appointment, such as your name and a general reason for the visit.

Your rights

Under HIPAA, patients generally have the right to see and get a copy of their health records, ask for corrections, and learn how their information has been shared. Ask the practice how to make a request.

Complaints

If you believe your health information privacy rights have been violated, you can contact the practice, or file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (opens in a new tab).
