Please protect and secure health information.

Tips for Protecting Protected Health Information (PHI):

  • Do not leave PHI, such as reports, claims, medical documentation, and other sensitive information, in a car.
  • Double-check fax numbers.  Faxing is secure, when it is sent to the correct fax number.
  • If you maintain PHI on a flash drive, ensure the drive is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Shred PHI when it is no longer needed. Double-check to ensure PHI is going in the shred container
