New Options For Managing Your Digital Medical Records
In 2021, a new federal rule made it easier for our members to manage their digital medical records.
The Interoperability and Patient Access rule (CMS-9115-F) focuses on interoperability and patient access, making it easier for members to get their health records when they need it most in a way they can best use it. (For more information about this rule, visit the CMS website https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/interoperability-and-patient-access-fact-sheet.)
The new rule makes it so you can easily find information on:
- Claims (paid and denied)
- Healthcare providers
- Specific parts of your clinical information
Samples of data we maintain include:
- Patient Information
- First name
- Last name
- Previous name
- Middle name
- Suffix
- Birth sex
- Date of birth
- Race
- Ethnicity
- Preferred language
- Allergies and intolerances
- Substances (medications)
- Substances (drug class)

- Previous address
- Phone number
- Phone number type
- Email address
- Health concerns
- Immunizations
- Procedures
- Medications
- Laboratory tests and results
- Assessments and treatment plans

How to get your Information

You give the app permission to collect your health information when you sign up for it. The app’s Notice of Privacy Practices should tell you what information it collects.
The app's Notice of Privacy Practices should tell you what information it collects. Apps do have the ability to collect non-health data, such as your location. Some apps give you the option to provide that information. We suggest that you ask the app provider.
If a family member is linked to your health account, there is a chance that their health information will be shared.
