How does our health plan use Protected Health Information (PHI)?
The health plan uses PHI to perform several essential functions that include verifying eligibility to participate in a NOAO sponsored health plan, transmitting enrollment data to carriers and managing the operations of the health plan. From time to time, the health plan may disclose PHI to government agencies and other bodies as required by law. At all times, the health plan follows strict procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of this information. The Notice of Privacy Practices describes the permitted uses and disclosures of PHI in more detail.
