Health Privacy and HIPAA Notice

This notice explains how users should protect health information online and why private medical details should not be sent to this website.

Human-reviewed content Official-source priority Not medical advice Emergency-safe guidance

Health privacy matters

Health information is sensitive. Even a short message can reveal conditions, medications, test results, insurance details or identity information. Users should share private health information only with the correct provider, insurer, pharmacy or official agency through secure channels.

Do not send PHI to us.

Do not send medical records, lab results, images, portal messages, prescription details, insurance cards, billing statements or identity documents to usmedicalgroup.org/.

HIPAA context

HIPAA rules apply to specific covered entities and business associates. This informational website does not become a medical provider simply because it publishes health-related content. We therefore do not ask for protected health information and cannot process private medical requests.

If you need to exercise privacy rights, request records, correct a medical record, ask about disclosure or send private health information, use the official provider, health plan or healthcare clearinghouse process that applies to your situation.

Safe communication checklist

Use official portals

Send medical records, symptoms and test-result questions only through secure provider-approved channels.

Verify the recipient

Check the official domain, phone number and portal before sharing health information.

Redact unnecessary details

If reporting a website correction, remove names, dates of birth, account numbers and medical facts.

Ask the provider

For HIPAA requests, medical-record corrections or privacy notices, contact the provider or plan directly.
