HIE Opt in vs. Opt out

An opt-in means that you must affirmatively choose to have your records exchanged in an HIE. If you do nothing, your records will be out of the HIE. You may choose to enter the HIE by exercising your opt-in choice. An opt-out choice means that some part or all of your health files are already in an HIE by default. If you do nothing, your records will stay in the HIE. You may choose to stop this by exercising your opt-out choice.
