At Avamere,
we understand that medical and health information about our customers is
personal and private. Avamere is committed to the
protection of this information.
Most states have regulations to ensure the privacy of medical and health
information. To help ensure the privacy of medical and health information,
the federal government has recently enacted the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act - known simply as HIPAA. The Act includes a Privacy
Rule specific to the protection of medical and health information. The HIPAA
Privacy Rule went into affect on April 14, 2003. Part of the Rule provides
consumers of healthcare services the right to know how the privacy of their
medical and health information is protected and how it is shared. If you
would like to see a complete copy of our "Notice of Privacy Information
Practices" and your rights as provided by the HIPAA regulations, please
