In 1996, Congress enacted HIPAA to protect the confidentiality and security of health records, particularly as more records transitioned to electronic formats. The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (Hi-Tech) Act further extended privacy protections for electronically stored health records. When health record copies are requested, healthcare providers must adhere to both HIPAA and Hi-Tech regulations. Most requests for health records come from outside groups rather than patients. HIPAA specifies who can access patient records and requires that all authorizations meet nine specific criteria before records can be released. Each request form is unique, necessitating meticulous attention to detail to ensure proper and efficient processing.
