HIPAA Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that your health insurance plan limit the release of your health information to the minimum necessary required for your care, or as outlined in the plan's Privacy Notice. If you have questions about your claims, contact your insurance carrier first. If, after contacting the carrier, you need Metro to assist you with any claim issues, you may be required to provide Metro with written authorization to release information related to your claim.
