Patient Rights at
Your Fingertips (PRYF)












PRYF is a very short summary of the basic legal rights of patients in the United States. You can print PRYF and take it with you when you visit your doctor or go to the hospital. Because it is so short, PRYF cannot cover every situation that patients face, and it does not purport to give legal advice for individual circumstances. It is intended to remind you of your basic rights as a patient and encourage you to keep learning more.
