NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
THIS IS HOW WE MAY USE OR DISCLOSE AND HOW YOU CAN ACCESS
YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION.
Effective April 24, 2003, the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, commonly known as HIPAA went into
effect. HIPAA requires us to maintain the privacy of your
personal health information and to provide you with notice
of our legal duties and privacy policies with respect to your
personal health information. Your personal health information
that is protected by law broadly includes any information,
oral, written or recorded, that is created or received by
us. The law specifically protects your name, address, social
security number, etc. that could be used to identify you.
Generally, we may not use or disclose your information without
your permission and then only as you have directed. Without
your consent, we may use or disclose your personal health
information in order to provide you with services and the
treatment you require or request, to collect payments and
to conduct other related healthcare activities. Also, we are
permitted to disclose your personal health information within
and among our workforce in order to accomplish these same
purposes. However, even with your permission, we are still
required to limit such uses or disclosures.
You have the right to limit certain of our uses of your information
such as disclosures to family members, relatives, close friends
and public or private organizations assisting in disaster
relief efforts.
You have the right to request to receive confidential communications
of your personal health information.
You have the right to inspect and copy your personal health
information. We may provide you with a summary of the personal
health information requested or may provide an explanation
of the information.
You have the right to correct erroneous records in your personal
health information.
You have the right to receive an accounting of disclosures
of your personal health information.
You have the right to file a complaint with us and others
if you believe that your privacy rights have been violated.
We reserve the right to revise or amend this Privacy Policy
at any time. We will provide you with notice of any revisions
or amendments to this Privacy Policy, or changes in the law
affecting this Privacy Notice within 60 days of the effective
date of such revision, amendment, or change.
