This research project examines privacy legal issues in public transportation and para-transit services arising from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other privacy laws. Public transportation agencies, including para-transit services, maintain some medical information about their clients. These include application materials filed by clients or their health professionals during the eligibility process; records created during the review of these applications; and databases, updated as service is provided, which record customers destinations, including clinics, hospitals, doctors offices, and dialysis centers. |
