The Administrative Simplification provisions of the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, commonly known as HIPAA,
include new rules that seek to improve efficiency and effectiveness
of the healthcare system. A portion of HIPAA, referred to as the
Privacy Rule, establishes a national standard for the collection,
maintenance, access, use and disclosure of individually identifiable
health information. Individually identifiable health information
is considered to be protected health information. In addition, there
are several individual rights that are defined in the Privacy Rule.
The confidentiality of the information entrusted to Davis Vision
has always been of utmost importance to us. This Notice of Privacy
Practices reflects our commitment to protecting your individually
identifiable health information.
Davis Vision is pleased to administer your vision care benefit.
If you have questions or comments related to the HIPAA Privacy Rule,
the Notice of Privacy Practices includes the Davis Vision Privacy
Office contact information.
