Where To Report a Privacy or Information Security Incident or Complaint

It is always good to talk about a potential HIPAA problem early before it becomes an actual problem.  However, sometimes a potential problem can result in a Privacy or Information Security incident or complaint.

In this case, you can report an incident or file a complaint by contacting:

1. The HIPAA Program Office directly at 773-834-9716, if you don't want to be anonymous.
2. The toll-free HIPAA Resource Line at 1-877-440-5480, if you wish to be anonymous.  The HIPAA Resource Line is available 24 hours a day.

The HIPAA Program Office will investigate all reports of an incident or complaints, work with the appropriate UCMC and BSD Departments on resolving them, and apply disciplinary action when appropriate.
