In 1996, Congress enacted HIPAA to protect the confidentiality and security of health records, especially as they became more electronic. The HITECH Act later extended these privacy protections for electronically stored health records. When a copy of health records is requested, healthcare providers must comply with both acts. While it may seem that only patients request their records, most requests come from outside groups and organizations. HIPAA regulates who can access these records and mandates nine specific criteria for authorization before any records are released. Each request form is unique, necessitating careful attention to detail to fulfill them properly and efficiently.
