Dental
All of the patients’ medical records are protected by the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
This law ensures continuity of healthcare coverage for individuals changing
jobs; includes a provision that impacts on the management of health information;
seeks to simplify the administration of health insurance; and aims to combat
waste, fraud, and abuse in health insurance and healthcare.
If a patient is transferring from or into the care of the clinic’s dentist they
may need to sign a records transfer request to either let their former dentist
send the records to the dental clinic or vice versa.
