Privacy Policy Notice

Your Information. Your Rights. Our Responsibilities.

​

Your Rights 

You have several rights regarding your health information. You have the right to obtain a copy of  your health and billing records, as well as to request corrections if you believe any information is  incorrect or incomplete. You may also ask us to communicate with you in a specific manner, such as  by calling your cell phone rather than your home phone. You can request that we restrict the  sharing of certain health information, and while we are not required to agree in all circumstances,  we will honor restrictions whenever possible. You have the right to request an accounting of  disclosures, which is a list of who we have shared your information with, other than for treatment,  payment, or healthcare operations. Finally, you may request a paper or digital copy of this Privacy  Policy at any time. 

​

Our Uses and Disclosures 

We use your health information in several ways. First, we use it to provide and coordinate your  treatment. We may also use your information to bill you, your insurance company, or other  responsible parties, and to obtain payment for services. Your information may be used in the daily  operations of our practice, such as improving the quality of care and contacting you when  necessary. In some situations, we may be required by federal, state, or local law to share your  information, such as for public health reporting or safety concerns. We will never sell your  information or use it for marketing purposes without your written permission.
