What it means
Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, the designated record set is the collection of records a covered entity—such as a hospital, clinic, or health plan—maintains about you. It includes your medical records, billing records, clinical lab results, and health plan enrollment and payment information. You have a legal right to inspect these records and request amendments if you believe information is incorrect or incomplete. The covered entity must respond within 30 days and may extend by another 30 days with written notice. Psychotherapy notes held separately by a therapist and records compiled for litigation are generally excluded. Reviewing your designated record set regularly helps catch errors before they affect your care.
How to say it

Under HIPAA, the hospital has 30 days to provide your designated record set after receiving your written request.
