HIPAA & Website Privacy Policy
Overview
The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides federal protections for individually identifiable health information held by covered entities and their business associates and gives patients an array of rights with respect to that information. At the same time, the Privacy Rule is balanced to permit the disclosure of health information needed for patient care and other important purposes.
The Security Rule specifies a series of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for covered entities and their business associates to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronically protected health information.

If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the IHC services or websites you visit.
Additionally, IHC has enabled Google AdWords remarketing through the use of Google Analytics. This does not give Google or any other third party any personal information.
