HIPAA Compliance
Congress passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in 1996 to create a privacy standard in protecting patients medical records and other health information provided to health plans, doctors, hospitals and other health care providers which took effect on April 14, 2003. These new standards, developed by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), provide patients with access to their medical records and more control over how their personal health information is used and disclosed. However, State laws providing more stringent protections to consumers are not affected by this new rule.

HIPAA also included a provision designed to promote electronic health care transactions and require new safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of health information. In addition, uniform national standards for electronic commerce in the health care industry have been adopted to create more efficient processing of heath care transactions. These standards allow the health care industry to share electronic health care information using a common format and common set of codes and identifiers.

Galloway Pharmacy is dedicated to complete compliance of the HIPAA regulations.
