Patient Privacy
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 2006 mandated significant changes to the regulations governing the provision of health benefits, the delivery of and payment for healthcare services as well as the security and confidentiality of individually identifiable, protected health information (PHI).
- The HIPAA Privacy Rule provides for the privacy of an individual's health information.
- The HIPAA Security Rule provides for the security of an individual's health information when the information is transmitted electronically.

Please note: In March 2024, UCI Health acquired Tenet’s Pacific Coast Network, which includes four medical centers, formerly known as Fountain Valley Regional Hospital, Lakewood Regional Medical Center, Los Alamitos Medical Center and Placentia-Linda Hospital, as well as its associated outpatient locations. With UCI Health, you and your family will receive compassionate, expert care delivered by the same physicians and at the same locations that you have come to know and trust. We appreciate your patience with our systems and teams as we begin our journey of working together to improve the health and bring more services to you.
