Patient Confidentiality

Appropriate Uses of Prescription Information by Managed Care Organizations

Policy 0903

06/01/2009 Introduced

10/16/2023 Revised

AMCP supports the responsible use of health information (e.g., medication claims, diagnosis and procedure codes, medical data, laboratory results, digital health and other clinical and reimbursement data), whether individually identifiable by patient or prescriber or aggregated without identifying specific individuals. When used appropriately, this information can help spur innovation, promote responsible prescription drug use, address health disparities, protect patient safety, and reduce overall health care costs.
