Your Privacy and Confidentiality

TriCore values the privacy of your health information and is required by federal law to protect it. Protected Health Information (PHI) is information that relates to your past, present or future health, treatment or payment for health care services. The most important factor in the federal government’s decision to protect the privacy of health information through legislation is the rapid evolution of computer technology and its use in health care.
