As part of a general
effort to attain additional health care reform, the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was introduced by Congress in 1996. The law
consists of several components, including the Privacy Rule.
The HIPAA "Privacy
Rule" requires all healthcare providers to institute a complete strategy for
maintaining the privacy of their patients and their confidential health
information.
Conceptions takes

stringent guidelines mandated by HIPAA policies. While the nature of healthcare
necessitates the disclosure of some personal medical information to obtain
appropriate treatment, Conceptions has numerous patient privacy practices in
place to ensure your fundamental safety.
