Acknowledgement of Receipt of Privacy Notice

Mass General Brigham Incorporated is an integrated health care system, which includes all the entities listed on https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/notices/hipaa. These hospitals and entities, as well as the doctors, nurses, therapists, and other providers of health care who work in these organizations, are called "providers." These providers may share patient health information for treatment, billing, and health care operations.

Federal law requires that all patients be given a copy of the Mass General Brigham Privacy Notice. The Privacy Notice describes in detail how patient health information is used and shared with others.

Mass General Brigham has reserved the right to change the Privacy Notice at any time. You may obtain a current copy of the Privacy Notice by contacting the admitting office, the registration office, your doctor's office, or by going to the Mass General Brigham Web site (www.massgeneralbrigham.org).

All reasonable efforts will be made to protect the privacy of patient health information, whether it is maintained on paper or electronically, and regardless of how it is communicated, for example, by e-mail or facsimile mail.
