Take Action Now to Control Your Medical Records!

A proposed bill in Connecticut needs your help getting out of the Public Health Committee so it can go to the House and Senate for a vote. House Bill 5737, “An Act Concerning the Use of Patient Health Care Information in the All-Payer Claims Database Program,” would protect your privacy by giving you the right to chose whether or not your information is included in the state’s All-Payer Claims Database, which collects, stores, and uses information from health care claims

You should be able to decide how and by whom your sensitive health information is used. Let your legislators know that having control over your medical data is important to you by contacting them and encouraging them to support HB 5737. You can see a full list of the Public Health Committee members and how to contact them here. To contact your own district Representative or Senator to ask them to vote for the bill, you can follow this link to find out who represents you.
