Who to contact in Idaho
- Attorney general consumer protection office
- Consumer Protection Division, Idaho Office of Attorney General. It takes consumer complaints. Its page does not say it handles complaints about health records under HIPAA; those go to the Office for Civil Rights (below).
- Health information exchange
- Idaho Health Data Exchange (named the state designated entity for 2009 federal HIE funding, per Office of Performance Evaluations report, October 2023).
- Can you opt out?
- No state law decides this. We searched the state's official law sites and found none. The Idaho Health Data Exchange was named for 2009 federal funding; we found no current state designation. Its own FAQ says you can opt out by form. The exchange's opt-out form, Request to Restrict Disclosure of Health Information (read October 7, 2026), says:
You can choose whether to make your health information available to providers participating in the IHDE.

A health information exchange (HIE) is a network that lets doctors, hospitals and labs share patient records with each other.
Start with your provider. If you are refused or get no answer, you can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). If your electronic record is held back, you can report it through the federal Report Information Blocking Portal. See who to contact in the United States.
