The Medical Privacy Coalition
Is a national partnership of organizations concerned about the threat to Americans' fundamental right to protect their medical information.
Medical Privacy Coalition Mission Statement
The Medical Privacy Coalition (MPC) is dedicated to upholding the long-standing and fundamental confidentiality right of individuals to decide when and to whom their personal health information is disclosed. Patient control over the flow of their personal health information is essential for maintaining patients' confidential relationships with doctors and other health providers, and for the delivery of quality health care.
To accomplish its mission, the MPC seeks to restore, maintain, and improve individuals' right to give their informed consent before their personal health information is shared with others, including for purposes related to health-care treatment, payment and health-care operations. The MPC is seeking to obtain administrative, legislative and/or judicial action to ensure that individuals' consent is obtained prior to the release of their personal health information.
