Telehealth and Medical Record Privacy Notice

What it is

If you use 23andMe's telehealth service, a completely separate privacy document — not this one — governs your medical records and clinical health information.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users of 23andMe's telehealth services have their clinical medical information governed by a separate privacy notice that may include HIPAA-protected health information, creating a two-track privacy regime where the protections and data uses differ materially between the genetic testing service and the healthcare service. Consumers using both services should read both documents carefully.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Medical information collected through 23andMe's telehealth service is subject to different (and likely HIPAA-governed) rules than your genetic testing data, and failing to read the separate Medical Record Privacy Notice could mean missing critical protections or limitations.

View original clause language
Should you choose to receive Telehealth Services coordinated through 23andMe, with clinical services provided through licensed healthcare providers, there is a separate Medical Record Privacy Notice that describes how your medical information is used, disclosed, and maintained.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: The Telehealth service and associated Medical Record Privacy Notice likely engages HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 164) and the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164.300 et seq.), enforced by HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR). The 21st Century Cures Act information blocking rules (45 CFR Part 171) may also apply to electronic health records generated through telehealth. State telehealth and medical privacy laws may impose additional requirements.
