The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) ensures your access to various health and human services, and it protects the privacy and security of your medical records and information.
As a health plan, CountyCare regularly communicates with your provider about your care, and we follow strict guidelines outlined by HIPAA.
Request an accounting of when CountyCare discloses your personal health information for reasons other than for Treatment, Payment, or Healthcare Operations, or for disclosures made with your authorization or permission (Request for Accounting of Protected Health Information (PHI) Disclosures)
Request that CountyCare restrict disclosures of your health information or request CountyCare provide your protected health information (PHI) by alternative means or at alternative locations (Protected Health Information (PHI) Communication Request)
Stay safe in hot weather by drinking plenty of water, limiting time outdoors, staying in cool or shaded areas, taking breaks when working outside, wearing lightweight clothing, checking on relatives and neighbors (especially older adults) and never leaving children unattended in a parked vehicle.
