Your Privacy Rights in Delaware

HIPAA Standard
No major deviations. Delaware's privacy statute (24 Del. Code § 1731) requires practitioners to maintain confidentiality of patient communications and records, disclosing only with patient consent or as required by law – essentially the same principle as HIPAA. Delaware follows HIPAA's standards on access (30 days) and doesn't have unique additional rights beyond that. One note: Delaware's breach notification law covers medical information as personal information, so patients must be notified of breaches consistent with state requirements (which are similar to HIPAA's).
