Understanding HIPPA and FERPA
Presenter: Christopher Scoville and Denna Mikhail, NYSUT Office of General Counsel
Sharing, what can be shared about students’ medical and or educational records? It can be confusing and complex. Is it HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) or FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)? Working in an educational setting, health care professionals sometimes seek clarification surrounding the application of the HIPPA and FERPA to education and health records. The seminar will provide general information that health care professionals need when working in a school setting.
