In 1996, Congress enacted HIPAA to safeguard the confidentiality and security of health records, especially as they became more digital. The Hi-Tech Act further extended privacy protections for electronically stored and shared health records. Today, healthcare providers must comply with both laws when responding to health record requests. While it may seem that only patients request their records, most requests come from organizations and outside groups. HIPAA regulates who can access patient records, requiring nine specific criteria for authorization before any records can be released. Attention to detail is essential in fulfilling these requests accurately and efficiently, as no two request forms are identical.
