Patient Rights

Our commitment to quality health care includes a commitment to the privacy rights of our patients.

HIPAA guarantees patient rights

• Receive a Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP)
• View & copy medical record
• Request amendments to the medical record
• Request alternate communications
• Request restrictions on uses & disclosures
• Receive accounting of non-routine disclosures
• Right to complain to the DHHS

The KU NPP explains how we will use patient information and describes patient's rights under the law.
