The privacy provisions of the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) apply to health information created or maintained by healthcare providers who engage in certain electronic transactions, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses. HIPAA governs how healthcare providers like JRMC handle patient information. HIPAA permits JRMC and its institutionally related foundation, JRMC Foundation, to use certain information (e.g. patient ID, name, address, telephone number, dates of service, age and gender) to contact you in the future to raise funds for the benefit of JRMC, provided that patients are given the opportunity to "opt-out" of such fundraising communications.
Patient privacy opt-out is only for past and current patients of JRMC. We will honor your request not to receive fundraising communications from the JRMC Foundation after the date we receive your request.
