PATIENT PRIVACY

As A Patient You Should Know About... HIPAA and Your Privacy

HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, is a law designed to help ensure the portability of health insurance coverage, reduce healthcare fraud and abuse, enforce standards of health information and guarantee the security and privacy of health information. 
 

At Dodge County Hospital, our goal is to meet and exceed the demands of HIPAA and to protect our patients’ privacy and confidentiality without exception. We encourage all of our patients to familiarize themselves with Dodge County Hospital’s HIPAA Privacy Policy.
