How can individuals file a complaint if they believe their HIPAA rights have been violated?

Individuals who believe their HIPAA rights have been violated can file a complaint with the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Complaints must be filed within 180 days of when the complainant knew that the act or omission complained of occurred, although this period may be extended for good cause.
