HIPAA NOTICE: - The United States Congress recently enacted the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which took effect on April 14, 2003. HIPAA was designed to protect patient medical records and other health information provided to health plans, doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. In order to comply with this federal law, The Smithtown Children’s Foundation, now requires that the parent/legal guardian sign and return the HIPAA Form in order to process the application. The physician’s application requires a response from the applicant’s treating physician. The physician should require the applicant’s parents/legal guardian to complete and sign a HIPAA form during the treatment process. Please ensure, before returning the physician’s portion of your application, that a signed copy of the HIPAA form accompanies this document. If a HIPAA form has not yet been completed, please call the treatment facility and request one. Please note: the wish application cannot be processed without the signed HIPAA form.
