Please Note:
This is a separate notice from the "Notice of Privacy Practices" required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).  While they are very similar, this notice discusses how all personal information is collected and shared. 
 
The HIPAA notice focuses on how Protected Health Information is used and disclosed, and describes an individual's rights under HIPAA. 
 
The HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices is included in the SPD and a reminder notice is distributed every three years.
