DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Indian Health Service


Privacy Act of 1974; Report of Modified or Altered System 
Medical, Health and Billing Records System

AGENCY: Indian Health Service (IHS), HHS.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Modification or Alteration to a System of 
Records (SOR).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of 
1974, IHS is proposing to modify or alter an SOR, ``Medical, Health and 
Billing Records,'' System No. 09-17-0001. IHS is proposing to amend 
routine use number 10 to be more consistent with the Health Insurance 
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule language, 45 
CFR 164.512(b) by changing the language to state ``which are authorized 
by applicable Federal, State, Tribal or local law * * *,'' which would 
give IHS the discretion of allowing additional disclosures. For 
example, this change will give IHS the discretion to disclose 
controlled substance prescription data to a centralized database 
administered by an authorized State public health entity, such as state 
prescription drug monitoring programs (PMP). IHS is also proposing to 
add routine use number 25 to meet the newly established requirement by 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memoranda (M) 07-16, 
Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally 
Identifiable Information and to Comply with HHS Incident Reporting and 
Handling Requirements.
    Effective Dates: IHS filed an altered/modified system report with 
the Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, 
the Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs, and the Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, OMB on August 25, 2008. To ensure that all parties have 
adequate time in which to comment, the modified SOR will become 
effective 40 days from the publication of the notice, or from the date 
it was submitted to OMB and the Congress, whichever is later, unless 
IHS invites comments on all portions of this notice.

ADDRESSES: The public should address comments to: Mr. William Tibbitts, 
IHS Privacy Act/HIPAA Privacy Officer, Office of Management Services, 
Division of Regulatory Affairs, Records Access and Policy Liaison, 801 
Thompson Avenue, TMP, Suite 450, Rockville, MD 20852-1627; call non-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IHS initiated a national workgroup 
consisting of IHS Chief Medical Officers (CMOs) and the IHS National 
Pharmacy Council (NPC) to assist the IHS in systematically addressing 
the issue of prescription drug abuse. Currently, approximately 35 
States have controlled substances prescription reporting systems that 
allow providers to monitor their patient's prescriptions and access to 
controlled substances.

for third-party reimbursement; or
    (d) To the Office of Clinical Standards and Quality, CMS to 
determine the prevalence of end-stage renal disease among the American 
Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population and to coordinate 
individual care.
    8. To process and collect third-party claims and facilitate fiscal 
intermediary functions and to process debt collection activities.
    9. To improve the IHS national patient care database by means of 
obtaining and verifying an individual's SSN with the Social Security 
Administration (SSA).
    10. To provide information to organ procurement organizations or 
other entities engaged in the procurement, banking, or transplantation

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    This system of records contains individually identifiable health 
information. The HHS Privacy Act Regulations (45 CFR Part 5b) and the 
Privacy Rule (45 CFR Parts 160 and 164) issued pursuant to the HIPAA of 
1996 apply to most health information maintained by IHS. Those 
regulations may place additional procedural requirements on the uses 
and disclosures of such information beyond those found in the Privacy 
Act of 1974 or mentioned in this system of records notice. An 
accounting of all disclosures of a record made pursuant to the 
following routine uses will be made and maintained by IHS for five 
years or for the life of the records, whichever is longer.

    Note: Special requirements for alcohol and drug abuse patients: 
If an individual receives treatment or a referral for treatment for 
alcohol or drug abuse, then the Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug 
Abuse Patient Records Regulations, 42 CFR Part 2 may apply. In 
general, under these regulations, the only disclosures of the 
alcohol or drug abuse record that may be made without patient 
consent are: (1) To meet medical emergencies (42 CFR 2.51), (2) For 
research, audit, evaluation and examination (42 CFR 2.52-2.53), (3) 
Pursuant to a court order (42 CFR 2.61-2.67), and
    (4) Pursuant to a qualified service organization agreement, as 
defined in 42 CFR 2.11. In all other situations, written consent of 
the individual is usually required prior to disclosure of alcohol or 
drug abuse information under the routine uses listed below.

    1. Records may be disclosed to Federal and non-Federal (public or 
private) health care providers that provide health care services to IHS 
individuals for purposes of planning for or providing such services, or 
reporting results of medical examination and treatment.
    2. Records may be disclosed to Federal, State, local or other 
authorized organizations that provide third-party reimbursement or 
fiscal intermediary functions for the purposes of billing or collecting 
third-party reimbursements. Relevant records may be disclosed to debt

recommendations to the appropriate court. Community child protection 
teams are comprised of representatives of Tribes, the BIA, child 
protection service agencies, the judicial system, law enforcement 
agencies and IHS.
    12. IHS may disclose information from these records in litigations 
and/or proceedings related to an administrative claim when:
    (a) IHS has determined that the use of such records is relevant and 
necessary to the litigation and/or proceedings related to an 
administrative claim and would help in the effective representation of 
the affected party listed in subsections (i) through (iv) below, and 
that such disclosure is

[[Page 50041]]

compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected. Such 
disclosure may be made to the HHS/OGC and/or Department of Justice 
(DOJ), pursuant to an agreement between IHS and OGC, when any of the 
following is a party to litigation and/or proceedings related to an 
administrative claim or has an interest in the litigation and/or 
proceedings related to an administrative claim:
    (i) HHS or any component thereof; or
    (ii) Any HHS employee in his or her official capacity; or
    (iii) Any HHS employee in his or her individual capacity where the 
DOJ (or HHS, where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent 
the employee; or
    (iv) The United States or any agency thereof (other than HHS) where 
HHS/OGC has determined that the litigation and/or proceedings related 
to an administrative claim is likely to affect HHS or any of its 
components.
    (b) In the litigation and/or proceedings related to an 
administrative claim described in subsection (a) above, information 
from these records may be disclosed to a court or other tribunal, or to 
another party before such tribunal in response to an order of a court

only the information expressly authorized by such order.
    13. Records may be disclosed under a business associate agreement 
to an IHS contractor for the purpose of computerized data entry, 
medical transcription, duplication services, or maintenance of records 
contained in this system.
    14. Records may be disclosed under a personal services contract or 
other agreement to student volunteers, individuals working for IHS, and 
other individuals performing functions for IHS who do not technically 
have the status of agency employees, if they need the records in the 
performance of their agency functions.
    15. Records regarding specific medical services provided to a 
unemancipated minor individual may be disclosed to the unemancipated 
minor's parent or legal guardian who previously consented to those 
specific medical services, to the extent permitted under 45 CFR 
164.502(g).
    16. Records may be disclosed to an individual having authority to 
act on behalf of an incompetent individual concerning health care 
decisions, to the extent permitted under 45 CFR 164.502(g).
    17. Information may be used or disclosed from an IHS facility 
directory in response to an inquiry about a named individual from a 
member of the general public to establish the individual's presence 
(and location when needed for visitation purposes) or to report the 
individual's condition while hospitalized (e.g., satisfactory or 
stable), unless the individual objects to disclosure of this 
information. IHS may provide the religious affiliation only to members 
of the clergy.
    18. Information may be disclosed to a relative, a close personal 
friend, or any other person identified by the individual that is 
directly relevant to that person's involvement with the individual's 
care or payment for health care.
    Information may also be used or disclosed in order to notify a 
family member, personal representative, or other person responsible for 
the individual's care, of the individual's location, general condition 
or death.
    If the individual is present for, or otherwise available prior to, 
a use or disclosure, and is competent to make health care decisions;
    (a) May use or disclose after the facility obtains the individual's 
consent,
    (b) Provides the individual with the opportunity to object and the 
individual does not object, or
    (c) It could reasonably infer, based on professional judgment, that 
the individual does not object.
    If the individual is not present, or the opportunity to agree or 
object cannot practicably be provided due to incapacity or emergent 
circumstances, an IHS health care provider may determine, based on 
professional judgment, whether disclosure is in the individual's best 
interest, and if so, may disclose only what is directly relevant to the 
individual's health care.
    19. Information concerning exposure to the HIV may be disclosed, to

activities at IHS facilities;
    (b) IHS has made reasonable efforts to counsel and encourage the 
subject individual to provide information to the individual's sexual or 
needle-sharing partner(s);
    (c) IHS determines that the subject individual is unlikely to 
provide the information to the sexual or needle-sharing partner(s) or 
that the provision of such information cannot reasonably be verified;
    (d) The notification of the partner(s) is made, whenever possible, 
by the subject individual's physician or by a professional counselor 
and shall follow standard counseling practices; and
    (e) IHS has advised the partner(s) to whom information is disclosed 
that they shall not re-disclose or use such information for a purpose 
other than that for which the disclosure was made.
    20. Records may be disclosed to Federal and non-Federal protection 
and advocacy organizations that serve AI/AN for the purpose of

such disclosure is authorized by law and the conditions of 45 CFR 
1386.22(a)(2) are met.
    21. Records of an individual may be disclosed to a correctional 
institution or a law enforcement official, during the period of time 
the individual is either an inmate or is otherwise in lawful custody, 
for the provision of health care to the individual or for health and 
safety purposes. Disclosure may be made upon the representation of 
either the institution or a law enforcement official that disclosure is 
necessary for the provision of health care to the individual, for the 
health and safety of the individual and others (e.g. , other inmates, 
employees of the correctional facility, transport officers), and for 
facility administration and operations. This routine use applies only 
for as long as the individual remains in lawful custody, and does not 
apply once the individual is released on parole or placed on either 
probation or on supervised release, or is otherwise no longer in lawful 
custody.
    22. Records including patient name, date of birth, SSN, gender and 
other identifying information may be disclosed to the SSA as is 
reasonably necessary for the purpose of conducting an electronic 
validation of the SSN(s) maintained in the record to the extent 
required under an agreement between IHS and SSA.

health care, notification of the

[[Page 50042]]

individual's whereabouts and his or her health status or death.
    25. To appropriate Federal agencies and Department contractors that 
have a need to know the information for the purpose of assisting the 
Department's efforts to respond to a suspected or confirmed breach of 
the security or confidentiality of information maintained in this 
system of records, and the information disclosed is relevant and 
necessary for that assistance.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
STORAGE:
    File folders, ledgers, card files, microfiche, microfilm, computer 
tapes, disk packs, digital photo discs, and automated, computer-based 
or electronic files.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    Indexed by name, record number, and SSN and cross-indexed.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Safeguards apply to records stored on-site and off-site.
    1. Authorized Users: Access is limited to authorized IHS personnel, 
volunteers, IHS contractors, subcontractors, and other business 
associates in the performance of their duties. Examples of authorized 
personnel include: Medical records personnel, business office 
personnel, contract health staff, health care providers, authorized 
researchers, medical audit personnel, health care team members, and 
legal and administrative personnel on a need to know basis.
    2. Physical Safeguards: Records are kept in locked metal filing 
cabinets or in a secured room or in other monitored areas accessible to 
authorized users at all times when not actually in use during working 
hours and at all times during non-working hours. Magnetic tapes, disks, 
other computer equipment (e.g., pc workstations) and other forms of 
personal data are stored in areas where fire and life safety codes are 
strictly enforced. Telecommunication equipment (e.g., computer 
terminal, servers, modems and disks) of the Resource and Patient 
Management System (RPMS) are maintained in locked rooms during non-
working hours. Network (Internet or Intranet) access of authorized 
individual(s) to various automated and/or electronic programs or 
computers (e.g., desktop, laptop, handheld or other computer types) 
containing protected personal identifiers or PHI is reviewed 
periodically and controlled for authorizations, accessibility levels, 
expirations or denials, including passwords, encryptions or other 
devices to gain access. Combinations and/or electronic passcards on 
door locks are changed periodically and whenever an IHS employee 
resigns, retires or is reassigned.
    3. Procedural Safeguards: Within each facility a list of personnel 
or categories of personnel having a demonstrable need for the records 
in the performance of their duties has been developed and is 
maintained. Procedures have been developed and implemented to review 
one-time requests for disclosure to personnel who may not be on the 
authorized user list. Proper charge-out procedures are followed for the 
removal of all records from the area in which they are maintained. 
Records may not be removed from the facility except in certain 
circumstances, such as compliance with a valid court order or shipment 
to the Federal Records Center(s). Persons who have a need to know are 
entrusted with records from this system of records and are instructed 
to safeguard the confidentiality of these records. These individuals 
are to make no further disclosure of the records except as authorized 
by the system manager and permitted by the Privacy Act and the HIPAA 
Privacy Rule as adopted, and to destroy all copies or to return such 
records when the need to know has expired. Procedural instructions 
include the statutory penalties for noncompliance.
    The following automated information systems (AIS) security 
procedural safeguards are in place for automated health and medical 
records maintained in the RPMS. A profile of automated systems security 
is maintained. Security clearance procedures for screening individuals, 
both Government and contractor personnel, prior to their participation 
in the design, operation, use or maintenance of IHS AIS are 
implemented. The use of current passwords and log-on codes are required 
to protect sensitive automated data from unauthorized access. Such 
passwords and codes are changed periodically. An automated or 
electronic audit trail is maintained and reviewed periodically. Only 
authorized IHS Division of Information Resources staff may modify 
automated files in batch mode. Personnel at remote terminal sites may 
only retrieve automated or electronic data. Such retrievals are 
password protected. Privacy Act requirements, HIPAA Privacy and 
Security Rule requirements and specified AIS security provisions are 
specifically included in contracts and agreements and the system 
manager or his/her designee oversee compliance with these contract 
requirements.
    4. Implementing Guidelines: HHS Chapter 45-10 and supplementary 
Chapter PHS.hf: 45-10 of the General Administration Manual; HHS, 
``Automated Information Systems Security Program Handbook,'' as 
amended; HHS IRM Policy HHS-IRM-2000-0005, ``IRM Policy for IT Security 
for Remote Access''; OMB Circular A-130 ``Management of Federal 
Information Resources''; HIPAA Security Standards for the Protection of 
Electronic Protected Health Information, 45 CFR 164.302 through 
164.318; and E-Government Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-347, 44 U.S.C. Ch 
36).

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    Patient listings which may identify individuals are maintained in 
IHS Area and Program Offices permanently. Inactive records are held at 
the facility that provided health and billing services from three to 
seven years and then are transferred to the appropriate Federal Records 
Center (FRC). Monitoring strips and tapes (e.g., fetal monitoring 
strips, EEG and EKG tapes) that are not stored in the individual's 
official medical record are stored at the health facility for one year 
and are then transferred to the appropriate FRC. (See Appendix 2 for 
FRC addresses). In accordance with the records disposition authority 
approved by the Archivist of the United States, paper records are 
maintained for 75 years after the last episode of individual care 
except for billing records. The retention and disposal methods for 
billing records will be in accordance with the approved IHS Records 
Schedule. The disposal methods of paper medical and health records will 
be in accordance with the approved IHS Records Schedule. The electronic 
data consisting of the individual personal identifiers and PHI 
maintained in the RPMS or any subsequent revised IHS database system 
should be inactivated once the paper record is forwarded to the 
appropriate FRC.

SYSTEM MANAGER(S) AND ADDRESS:
    Policy Coordinating Official: Director, OCPS, IHS, Reyes Building, 
801 Thompson Avenue, Suite 300, Rockville, Maryland, 20852-1627. See 
Appendix 1. The IHS Area Office Directors, Service Unit Directors/Chief 
Executive Officers and Facility Directors listed in Appendix 1 are 
System Managers.

[[Page 50043]]

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE:
    General Procedure: Requests must be made to the appropriate System 
Manager (IHS Area, Program Office Director or Service Unit Director/
Chief Executive Officer). A subject individual who requests a copy of, 
or access to, his or her medical record shall, at the time the request 
is made, designate in writing a responsible representative who will be 
willing to review the record and inform the subject individual of its 
contents. Such a representative may be an IHS health professional. When 
a subject individual is seeking to obtain information about himself/
herself that may be retrieved by a different name or identifier than 
his/her current name or identifier, he/she shall be required to produce 
evidence to verify that he/she is the person whose record he/she seeks. 
No verification of identity shall be required where the record is one 
that is required to be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act. 
Where applicable, fees for copying records will be charged in 
accordance with the schedule set forth in 45 CFR Part 5b.
    Requests in Person: Identification papers with current photographs 
are preferred but not required. If a subject individual has no 
identification but is personally known to the designated agency 
employee, such employee shall make a written record verifying the 
subject individual's identity. If the subject individual has no 
identification papers, the responsible system manager or designated 
agency official shall require that the subject individual certify in 
writing that he/she is the individual whom he/she claims to be and that 
he/she understands that the knowing and willful request or acquisition 
of records concerning an individual under false pretenses is a criminal 
offense subject to a $5,000 fine. If an individual is unable to sign 
his/her name when required, he/she shall make his/her mark and have the 
mark verified in writing by two additional persons.
    Requests by Mail: Written requests must contain the name and 
address of the requester, his/her date of birth and at least one other 
piece of information that is also contained in the subject record, and 
his/her signature for comparison purposes. If the written request does 
not contain sufficient information, the System Manager shall inform the 
requester in writing that additional, specified information is required 
to process the request.
    Requests by Telephone: Since positive identification of the caller 
cannot be established, telephone requests are not honored.
    Parents, Legal Guardians and Personal Representatives: Parents of 
minor children and legal guardians or personal representatives of 
legally incompetent individuals shall verify their own identification 
in the manner described above, as well as their relationship to the 
individual whose record is sought. A copy of the child's birth 
certificate or court order establishing legal guardianship may be 
required if there is any doubt regarding the relationship of the 
individual to the patient.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    Same As Notification Procedures: Requesters may write, call or 
visit the last IHS facility where medical care was provided. Requesters 
should also provide a reasonable description of the record being 
sought. Requesters may also request an accounting of disclosures that 
have been made of their record, if any.
    Contesting Record Procedures: Requesters may write, call or visit 
the appropriate IHS Area/Program Office Director or Service Unit 
Director/Chief Executive Officer at his/her address specified in 
Appendix 1, and specify the information being contested, the corrective 
action sought, and the reasons for requesting the correction, along 
with supporting information to show how the record is inaccurate, 
incomplete, untimely, or irrelevant.

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:
    Individual and/or family members, IHS health care personnel, 
contract health care providers, State and local health care provider 
organizations, Medicare and Medicaid funding agencies, and the SSA.

SYSTEMS EXEMPTED FROM CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE ACT:
    None.
