Generally, what does the HIPAA Privacy Rule require my health care provider and health plan to do?
Most health care providers and health plans already take many of the steps required by the Privacy Rule, including training employees to understand privacy procedures and securing patient records so that they are not available to those who do not need them. HIPAA requires your health care providers to provide a privacy notice to you informing you of your patient’s privacy rights and to designate an individual to be available to answer your privacy related questions.
