PATIENT HEALTH PRIVACY INFORMATION

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 or HIPAA was passed by Congress and signed into law to ensure that patient privacy, was protected at both the State and Federal level. At Urgent Care Matters, we take these matters very seriously and have instituted numerous internal and external measures to maximize compliance. Each employee at Urgent Care Matters has received and completed HIPAA Compliance Training designed to educate them on your rights as protected by law.

To aid us in the protection of your Privacy Rights, Urgent Care Matters employs the use of the following forms.  We ask that you become familiar with these documents and be prepared to acknowledge your review of these rights.
