PERSONAL HEALTH INFORMATION
In accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, a group health plan
such as the University's group health plan must give plan participants notice of their rights and the plan's legal
duties with respect to protected health information (PHI) and how the plan may use and disclose PHI.
In spring 2003, the plan issued a privacy notice outlining these rights and duties. At this time, we would like
to remind you that you have a right to receive a copy of the privacy notice. The privacy notice can be obtained
from the Office of Human Resources Benefits Department at 200B Craig Hall. This notice may also be accessed below.
The plan also is required to protect PHI in electronic form (EPHI). The University has implemented reasonable
and appropriate safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of PHI and EPHI that
it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of the plan.
Privacy Policy
The University of Pittsburgh Medical Plan Privacy Notice notifies The University of Pittsburgh's
long standing commitment to the rights of our prospective, current, and former faculty, staff, and covered dependents concerning the privacy
of their protected health information.
