HIPAA Privacy Policy

How our efforts to comply with HIPAA regulations affects you

The Health Insurance Portability and Accessibility Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requires those of us who manage and control confidential patient information to be accountable for its use and disclosure.

Although HIPAA was originally passed as law in 1996, its effective deadline dates are now upon us. In April 2003, all activities involving confidential patient information (referred to as Protected Health Information) will be under the scrutiny of law, and under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice, Health and Human Services Department.

In order to be proactive in our efforts toward compliance, Scot B. Glasberg, M.D has adopted methods and processes that must now be followed for each patient.

Every patient (or authorized representative) must authorize the use and disclosure of their protected health information, without exception. If you are a third party, or attorney seeking medical records; you will be required to show proof of such authorization. Additionally, information contained in medical records must only be used or disclosed for specific, and clearly stated purposes. For example: This office will no longer accept requests for an “entire” medical chart/record. You must state the specific information you want, to whom the information is to be disclosed, and the purpose for the use or disclosure of protected health information.

These requirements are non-negotiable, and our staff has no authority to circumvent our policies, so please do not ask them to try. If you have questions regarding this matter please contact our Patient Privacy Advocate, Lisa Villanueva 212-717-8550

The office of Scot B. Glasberg, M.D. has forms that will assist you in providing us with the necessary information. Just ask us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thanks for your cooperation.
