Although we have always been dedicated to respecting the privacy and confidentiality of our patients, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 now provides additional minimum safeguards that we are required by law to abide by. These safeguards are explained in the terms of the Notice of Privacy Practices.
