Take this bit of HIPAA humor as an essential reminder.

Be careful when mailing patient information.

Mailing protected health information (PHI) to the wrong patient is a HIPAA-reportable breach.

Always doublecheck the patient's first name, last name and address.

REMINDER: MHS employees must know and follow HIPAA privacy regulations.
