    The information provided is based on the 2013 Modifications to the HIPAA Privacy Rules, with an effective date of March 26, 2013 and a compliance date of September 23, 2013. HIPAA did not take away the ability for a hospital or health care organization, or its institutionally related foundation, to contact patients for fundraising purposes. However, it did make substantial changes in the type of patient information that can be used or disclosed without patient authorization, and provides for greater patient awareness and control of their information. Below are the basics for fundraising under HIPAA.

    The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has undergone several changes over the years. The most recent proposed changes include allowing patients to inspect their PHI in person and take notes or photographs of their PHI, changing the maximum time to provide access to PHI from 30 days to 15 days, and restricting the right of individuals to transfer ePHI to a third party to only ePHI that is maintained in an EHR.
