FAQ

HIPAASpace opt-out FAQ

Can I get information removed from HIPAASpace without an account?

Often, yes. HIPAASpace accepts privacy, copyright, and abuse reports through its help or contact pages.

Will HIPAASpace remove accurate information about me?

It depends on the site’s policies and the law. Private personal details are more likely to be removed than accurate public or professional information.

What if HIPAASpace says no?

Ask the person who posted it, use a privacy or legal route, or reduce visibility through search removal and suppression.

Can doctors remove their NPI listing?

NPI information is public under federal rules and is published by CMS in the NPPES registry. Third-party sites copy it. You can update your NPPES record (for example, to list a practice address instead of a home address) and ask third-party sites to refresh or remove extra details.
