Understanding Patient Privacy in Mental Health
Patient privacy in mental health treatment is governed by specific laws that ensure patient information remains confidential. At Mission Connection, our expert care team adheres to strict protocols to uphold the trust and safety of each of our patients.

HIPAA and Mental Health Treatment
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law in the U.S. that safeguards sensitive patient health information.
At Mission Connection, we adhere to HIPAA rules to ensure each patient’s health information and medical records are kept secure and confidential.
Telehealth Privacy Practices
Mental health treatment confidentiality laws aren’t just for in-person treatment sessions, they also apply to telehealth or virtual care visits.
When attending therapy sessions online, knowing that your provider is HIPAA-compliant and follows procedures to keep your personal health information secure can ease concerns.
Mission Connection prioritizes patient safety and confidentiality. Our secure online platform has safeguards in place to protect patient data.
