FERPA and HIPAA regulate privacy and the exchange of specific types of information. The work of healthcare providers, school personnel, and others often intersects with FERPA and HIPAA. Its important to understand these laws and know when they apply.
Is health information protected by FERPA?
Student health records maintained by a school or school employees, such as treatment records, IEP assessments, or immunization documents, are part of the education file in almost all cases.37 FERPA does not treat health and mental health records in a minors education file differently than it does any other information
Do I have to disclose medical information to my childs school?
Student records covered under FERPA are excluded from HIPAA. If schools bill Medicaid for health services, they must follow HIPAA guidelines for those transitions, but the student health information maintained in education records is still excluded from HIPAA coverage.
What is a health Dental Enrollment Form?
This enrollment form allows individuals to apply for group health and dental coverage. Its designed for employees to provide necessary personal information, dependent details, and coverage choices.
Is FERPA a healthcare regulation?
HIPAA, specifically, prohibits the school from getting the medical records directly from your childrens physician -- the school has to ask you. You then have the right to refuse and keep the information private, but then you cannot enroll your children in that school. Its a trade-off, but you have the full decision.
