HIPAA Regulations
All health care providers and related organizations (like PALS for Health) must adhere to HIPAA requirements.
HIPAA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that was passed by Congress in 1996.
An essential part of HIPAA is the protection and confidential handling of protected health information. PALS for Health maintains strict procedures to ensure the confidentiality and security of protected health information.
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) has a Privacy Office that oversees compliance on all state and federal privacy laws, including HIPAA.
