HIPAA & Patient Rights Requirements
Selected existing federal HIPAA requirements from eCFR and HHS
Individuals generally may inspect and obtain their protected health information in a designated record set, subject to the rule's exceptions. A covered entity must act within 30 days after receiving an access request; one extension of up to 30 days is permitted if it gives a written reason and completion date within the initial period.
What this means for you: An access request can result in access or a permitted denial. The rule specifies when a denial must be reviewable; it does not guarantee access to every record.
For a breach of unsecured protected health information affecting 500 or more individuals, a covered entity must notify the HHS Secretary without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 calendar days after discovery, subject to law-enforcement delay under § 164.412.

Individual notification is a separate requirement under § 164.404.
Individuals may request amendment of their protected health information in a designated record set. A covered entity must act within 60 days after receipt; one extension of up to 30 days is permitted if it gives a written reason and completion date within the initial period.
What this means for you: An amendment request may be denied on grounds specified in the rule. A written denial must explain the basis and the individual's right to submit a statement of disagreement; a request does not guarantee a correction.
