To provide us with a more complete picture of your health, Medicare shares some of your personal health information with your providers on the State Designated Health Information Exchange, the Chesapeake Regional Information System for Patients (CRISP.)

Use of CRISP allows us to:

• Be notified when you are admitted to a hospital
• Better coordinate your care with your other healthcare providers and specialists
• Share health information such as your labs and imaging results with your other providers and specialists
• Reduce medication and medical errors, and
• Ensure that you receive all necessary tests and procedures.

CRISP is an invaluable tool in the coordination of your care. Please be assured that this data is safeguarded according to federal and state law. However, if you would like Medicare to stop sharing your personal health information on CRISP, you may opt out by calling 1-800-MEDICARE or visit https://www.crisphealth.org/for-patients/.
