【翻译】Frequently Asked Questions

【翻译】What does HIPAA actually protect?
【翻译】HIPAA protects 'protected health information' (PHI) held by covered entities. This includes diagnoses, treatment, payment information, and identifiers.
【翻译】Can my employer see my medical records?
【翻译】Generally no, except for workers' compensation claims or FMLA certification. Your employer can't access your full medical records without your permission.
【翻译】Do fitness trackers and health apps have HIPAA protection?
【翻译】Usually not. Most are not 'covered entities.' They can share data unless their privacy policy states otherwise. Read policies carefully.
【翻译】Can I stop my doctor from sharing my information?
【翻译】You can request limits on disclosures for treatment, payment, and operations. Providers may not be required to agree if it affects your care.
【翻译】What if my privacy rights are violated?
【翻译】File a complaint with the provider's privacy officer, the HHS Office for Civil Rights, or your state attorney general. You may also have private right of action.
【翻译】Can family members access my records?
【翻译】Only if you authorize them. In emergencies, providers may share information with family if you're unable to consent and it's in your best interest.
【翻译】How long are medical records kept?
【翻译】HIPAA doesn't specify retention periods—state laws do. Typically 6-10 years after your last visit, or longer for minors.
【翻译】What's a 'minimum necessary' disclosure?
【翻译】HIPAA requires covered entities to share only the minimum information needed for the purpose. You can request they limit disclosures further.
【翻译】Can I request my records not be shared with others?
【翻译】Yes, you can request confidential communications (e.g., calling instead of mailing) and ask that information not be shared with certain family members.
【翻译】Do I have privacy rights with telehealth?
【翻译】Yes, telehealth sessions have the same HIPAA protections as in-person visits. Use only HIPAA-compliant platforms for healthcare consultations.
