Should a client or customer of the Department of Health and Human Service (DHHS) have a specific question or concern related to privacy compliance (how information is used or shared), or some other privacy matter; or perhaps the individual would like to convey a concern; pose a question or has a privacy issue, one may report by calling the office at: 240.777.1295, or send an email to: [email protected].

DHHS callers should first contact the service or program manager they are inquiring about for resolution, before contacting the privacy official.

The link below shows the Notice of Privacy Practices for DHHS, which describes how HHS uses and discloses information and is posted on the department website. It will also advise on where to report complaints regarding health information, and/or if there are other privacy practices.
