Military Health System Notice of Privacy Practices

The Military Health System (MHS) Notice of Privacy Practices (NoPP) is a notice that explains:

  • How the MHS will use your protected health information (PHI);
  • When and where the MHS may disclose your PHI;
  • How to limit where the MHS will disclose your PHI; and
  • How the MHS will protect your PHI.

DHA published a new NoPP on Oct. 1, 2013 making the 2003 NoPP void. You can get the new NoPP from any military hospital or clinic (also referred to as "military treatment facilities" or "MTFs").

To request NoPP posters or brochures for your facility, email DHA PCLO Training & Communications
