misResultados operates a network which facilitates the electronic transmission of clinical test results from the Clinical Laboratory to our repository of health information. This service allows to you and to your health care provider, access and manage your information in a fast, safe and effective way. Through misResultados network, Clinical Laboratories in Puerto Rico made available information of the patient clinical test results, so health care providers, authorized by the patient, and the patient himself, have access to health information.

The information that you have access to should not be used as a replacement or in place of a visit, call, query with or the council of your health care provider or medical attention. misResultados does not recommend self-diagnosis or self-management of health problems. If you have any questions regarding your health information or health care, you should diligently call or consult your physician or other health care provider. You, as a patient, should never ignore the instructions of your health care provider. Nor should you delay in reporting information related to your health status or seeking medical opinion and / or treatment because you have read or accessed information on this site.

Unlike a health care provider or health plan, misResultados are not regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the federal law that sets the rules for the confidentiality of patient health information. As an exception, if “misResultados” offers services to any health care provider or health plan, then it is required to comply with certain part of the Privacy Rule and with the HIPAA Safety Rule, as amended.

Our primary relationship is with you, the patient-user. Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, as amended, you have the right to obtain a copy of your health information and / or health record. If you choose to use misResultados, we will help you store and manage your health information online.

These practices express that the HIPAA Privacy Rule, as amended, allows the patient’s health information to be used and disclosed for Treatment, Payment and Health Operations purposes, which is permitted to the extent necessary without Need for express authorization of the patient, and informs that the use and disclosure can be done by electronic means.

To the network of misResultados, health information may be required from the public health authorities, on behalf of the health care provider. These transmissions may cause a request and the authorization of the covered entities to be made to a missionary who tests the health information transmission services. Just as they have executed these transmissions, as required and permitted by applicable law, health insurers in relation to their insured members.
