Patient Privacy Policy
Deer River HealthCare Center is committed to honoring and promoting the regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996.
HIPAA was enacted in part to maintain the privacy of patients' medical and personal information by creating national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information. In short, HIPAA ensures you have control over your health information by setting boundaries on the use and release of these records. HIPAA establishes appropriate safeguards that health care providers and others must achieve to protect the privacy of health information and generally limits release of information to the minimum reasonably needed for the purpose of the disclosure.
In support of federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) statutes, we have prepared a document that outlines our policies regarding your medical records. This document is available by clicking the link below.
