Health Information Privacy

HIPAA Privacy and Security

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 deals with how an employer can enforce eligibility and enrollment for healthcare benefits, as well as ensuring that protected health information which identifies you is kept private. You have the right to inspect and copy protected health information that is maintained by and for the plan for enrollment, payment, claims and case management. If you feel that protected health information about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask your benefits administrator to amend the information. For a full copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices, describing how protected health information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to the information, contact the Horizon Solution Center at 866-449-7712. Or, you may find it on the Hormel Foods intranet website at Pivot > Career & Total Rewards > Benefits > Health Care and scroll down to Documents.
