HIPAA, a federal law, establishes national standards safeguarding sensitive patient health information from unauthorized disclosure. It gives individuals rights to their health data, ensuring the right to access, verify accuracy, and know its viewers. This regulation applies to healthcare providers and insurance companies. These businesses are referred to as covered entities. The policy only applies to those businesses, not consumer applications like Primary Record.
Primary Record meets and exceeds the requirements set forth by the CARIN Alliance, a bipartisan, multi-sector collaborative working to advance the consumer-directed health information exchange, and the requirements set forth by the Federal Trade Commission’s Mobile Health App interactive tool.
