HIPAA Informational Notice
HIPAA Clarification
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 sets national standards for the protection of certain health information. It is important to clarify that US Pain Meds is not a "covered entity" or "business associate" as defined under HIPAA.
No Protected Health Information (PHI) Collected
Because we do not provide healthcare services, process health insurance claims, or maintain doctor-patient relationships, we do not collect, store, or transmit "Protected Health Information" (PHI). Any information you browse on this site remains anonymous and is used for educational purposes only.
Data Security
While we are not a healthcare provider, we still take data security seriously. We use standard web protections (HTTPS) to ensure that your browsing activity on US Pain Meds is secure. However, please be aware that the information you share with us is not subject to the same privacy protections as information you share with your physician.
Your Responsibility
We advise all users to never share their personal health history, Social Security numbers, or specific medication regimens in any public forums or comments sections (if enabled). Always share such sensitive information only with licensed healthcare professionals through secure channels.
Important: This policy is specific to US Pain Meds and its operations within the United States. We do not provide medical advice or sell medications.
