In 1996, Congress enacted HIPAA to safeguard the confidentiality and security of health records, especially as records transitioned to electronic formats. This was further expanded by the Hi-Tech Act, enhancing privacy protections for all electronically stored and shared health records. When health records are requested, healthcare providers must comply with both HIPAA and Hi-Tech regulations. Although it may seem that only patients request their records, most requests come from outside groups and organizations. HIPAA regulates who can access patient records, requiring nine specific criteria for authorization. Each request form differs, highlighting the necessity for meticulous attention to detail in processing these requests efficiently.
