Cookies

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser -- along with a Web page -- when you access a Web site. There are two kinds of cookies. A session cookie is a line of text that is stored temporarily in your computer's memory. Because a session cookie is never written to a drive, it is destroyed as soon as you close your browser. A persistent cookie is a more permanent line of text that gets saved by your browser to a file on your hard drive.

NHIC uses session cookies only. We do not use any persistent cookies.

You do not need to have cookies enabled to visit medicarenhic.com.


Data Collection

NHIC may collect personally identifiable information (name, e-mail address, physical address, and other unique identifier) only if specifically and knowingly provided by you. This would only be in the instances when you subscribe to the mailing list and/or send comments/questions to the webmaster.

Personally identifying information collected will be used only in connection with NHIC. Information collected is for statistical purposes only. We may perform analyses of user behavior in order to measure customer interest in the various areas of our sites. NHIC also uses listservs to send out information and change notices to subscribed users of our sites.

NHIC will protect the personal information that you share with us. NHIC does not disclose, give, sell, or transfer any personal information to third parties.


E-mail

While NHIC will make every attempt to protect the personal information that you share with us, electronic mail is not secure against interception. If your communication is very sensitive, you may want to send it by postal mail instead. Confidential information should not be e-mailed to us. This includes patient names, claim numbers, provider identification numbers, health insurance claim numbers, etc. Doing so could expose you or others to fraud and abuse.
