Privacy Office

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act's (HIPPA) medical privacy rules talk about the use and release of a consumers' personal health information, also known as "protected health information" (PHI). In the event state law (like the Michigan Mental Health Code) is more restrictive than HIPPA, the more restrictive law or policy will apply.

Under HIPPA, consumers must be informed about how their PHI will be used and given the opportunity to object to or restrict the use or release of their information.

For more information on HIPPA and Confidentiality rules, go to the Community Mental Health Partnership of Southeast Michigan's (CMHPSM) policy website to review the Notice of Privacy Practices and other relevant policies. You may also refer to the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights website.

To report a HIPPA concern, you can call our main phone number, 734-544-3050 and ask for the Privacy Officer, or for Customer Service. You can also call the Recipient Rights Officer of the Day at 734-219-8519.

You may also contact the Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.
