NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

If you have any questions about this Notice please contact our Privacy Officer.

This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how we may use and disclose your protected health information to carry out treatment, payment or health care operations and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also describes your rights to access and control of your protected health information. "Protected health information" is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services.

We are required to abide by the terms of this Notice of Privacy Practices. We may change the terms of our notice, at any time. The new notice will be effective for all protected health information that we maintain at that time. Upon your request, we will provide you with any revised Notice of Privacy Practices.

A. HOW THIS MEDICAL OFFICE MAY USE OR DISCLOSE YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION

Your protected health information may be used and disclosed by your physician and his office staff for the purpose of

providing health care services to you. Your protected health information may also be used and disclosed to pay your health

care bills and to support the operation of this practice. Following are examples of the types of uses and disclosures of your

protected health information this office is permitted to make. These examples are not meant to be exhaustive, but to describe the types of uses and disclosures that may be made by our office.

  1. Treatment: We will use and disclose your protected health information to provide, coordinate, or manage your health care and any related services. This includes the coordination or management of your health care with another provider. For example, we would disclose your protected health information, as necessary, to a home health agency that provides care to you. We will also disclose protected health information to other physicians who may be treating you. For example, your protected health information may be provided to a physician to whom you have been referred to ensure that the physician has the necessary information to diagnose or treat you. In addition, we may disclose your protected health information from time-to-time to another physician or health care provider (e.g., a pharmacist or laboratory) who, at the request of your physician, becomes involved in your care by providing assistance with your health care diagnosis or treatment to your physician. We may also disclose medical information to members of your family or others who can help you when you are sick or injured or after you die.

  2. Payment: Your protected health information will be used and disclosed, as needed, to obtain payment for your health

    care services provided by us or by another provider. This may include certain activities that your health insurance plan

    may undertake before it approves or pays for the health care services we recommend for you such as: making a

    determination of eligibility or coverage for insurance benefits, reviewing services provided to you for medical necessity,

    and undertaking utilization review activities. For example, we give your health plan the information it requires before it

    will pay us. We may also disclose information to other health care providers to assist them in obtaining payment for

    services they have provided to you.

  3. Health Care Operations: We may, as needed, use or disclose your protected health information in order to support the

    business activities of your physician's practice. These activities include, but are not limited to, quality assessment

    activities, employee review activities, licensing, and conducting or arranging for other business activities. Or we may

    use and disclose this information to get your health plan to authorize services or referrals. We may also share your

    medical information with our "business associates," such as our billing service, that perform administrative services for us. Whenever an arrangement between our office and a business associate involves the use or disclosure of your

    protected health information, we will have a written contract that contains terms that will protect the confidentiality and

    security of your protected health information.

  1. Appointment Reminders: We will use and disclose protected health information to contact and remind you about appointments. If you are not home, we may leave this information on your answering machine or in a message left with the person answering the phone.

  2. Notification and Communication With Family: We may disclose your health information to notify or assist in notifying

    a family member, your personal representative or another person responsible for your care about your location, your

    general condition or, unless you had instructed us otherwise, in the event of your death. In the event of a disaster, we may disclose information to a relief organization so that they may coordinate these notification efforts. We may also disclose information to someone who is involved with your care or helps pay for your care. If you are able and available to agree or object, we will give you the opportunity to object prior to making these disclosures, although we may disclose this information in a disaster even over your objection if we believe it is necessary to respond to the emergency circumstances. If you are unable or unavailable to agree or object, our health professionals will use their best judgment in communication with your family and others.

  3. Marketing: We may contact you to give you information about products or services provided by this practice, to

    encourage you to maintain a healthy lifestyle and to provide you with health related information that you may find

    useful. You may contact our Privacy Officer to request that these materials not be sent to you.

  4. Required By Law: We may use or disclose your protected health information to the extent that the use or disclosure is

    required by law. The use or disclosure will be made in compliance with the law and will be limited to the relevant

    requirements of the law. You will be notified, if required by law, of any such uses or disclosures.

  5. Public Health: We may, and at times may be required by law, to disclose your health information to public health

    authorities for purposes related to: preventing or controlling disease, injury or disability; reporting child, elder or

    dependent adult abuse or neglect; reporting domestic violence; reporting to the Food and Drug Administration

    problems with products and reactions to medications; and reporting disease or infection exposure. When we report

    suspected elder or dependent adult abuse or domestic violence, we will inform you or your personal representative

    promptly unless in our best professional judgment, we believe the notification would place you at risk of serious harm

    or would require informing a personal representative we believe is responsible for the abuse or harm.

  6. Health Oversight Activities: We may disclose protected health information to a health oversight agency for activities

    authorized by law, such as audits, investigations, and inspections. Oversight agencies seeking this information include government agencies that oversee the health care system, government benefit programs, other government regulatory programs and civil rights laws.

  7. Judicial and Administrative Proceedings: We may disclose your health information in the course of any administrative

    or judicial proceeding to the extent expressly authorized by a court or administrative order. We may also disclose

    information about you in response to a subpoena, discovery request or other lawful process if reasonable efforts have

    been made to notify you of the request and you have not objected, or if your objections have been resolved by a court

    or administrative order.

  8. Law Enforcement: We may, and are sometimes required by law, to disclose your health information to a law

    enforcement official for purposes such as identifying or locating a suspect, fugitive, material witness or missing

    person, complying with a court order, warrant, grand jury subpoena and other law enforcement purposes.

  9. Coroners, Funeral Directors, and Organ Donation: We may disclose protected health information to a coroner or

    medical examiner in connection with their investigations of deaths. We may also disclose protected health information

    to a funeral director, as authorized by law, in order to permit the funeral director to carry out his/her duties. We may

    disclose such information in reasonable anticipation of death. Protected health information may be used and

    disclosed for cadaveric organ, eye or tissue donation purposes.

  10. Public Safety: We may, and are sometimes required by law to, disclose your health information to appropriate persons

    in order to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of a particular person or the general public

  11. Proof of Immunization: We will disclose proof of immunization to a school that is required to have it before admitting

    a student where you have agreed to the disclosure on behalf of yourself or your dependent.

  12. Specialized Government Functions: We may disclose your health information for military or national security purposes

    or to correctional institutions or law enforcement officers that have you in their lawful custody.

  13. Workers' Compensation: We may disclose your health information as necessary to comply with workers'

    compensation laws. For example, to the extent your care is covered by workers' compensation, we will make periodic

    reports to your employer about your condition. We are also required by law to report cases of occupational injury or

    occupational illness to the employer or workers' compensation insurer.

  1. Change of Ownership: In the event that this medical practice is sold or merged with another organization, your health information/record will become the property of the new owner, although you will maintain the right to request that copies of your health information be transferred to another physician or medical group.

  2. Breach Notification: In the case of a breach of unsecured protected health information, we will notify you as required

    by law. If you have provided us with a current e-mail address, we may use e-mail to communicate information related

    to the breach. In some circumstances business associate may provide the notification. We may also provide

    notification by other methods as appropriate.

B. WHEN THIS MEDICAL PRACTICE MAY NOT USE OR DISCLOSE YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION

Except as described in this Notice of Privacy Practices, this medical practice will, consistent with its legal obligations, not

use or disclose health information which identifies you without your written authorization. If you do authorize this medical

practice to use or disclose your health information for another purpose, you may revoke your authorization in writing at any

time.

C. YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION RIGHTS

  1. Right to Request Special Privacy Protections: You have the right to request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of your health information by a written request specifying what information you want to limit, and what limitations on our use or disclosure of that information you wish to have imposed. If you tell us not to disclose information to your commercial health plan concerning health care items or services for which you paid for in full out-of-pocket, we will abide by your request, unless we must disclose the information for treatment or legal reasons. We reserve the right to accept or reject any other request, and will notify you of our decision.

  2. Right to Request Confidential Communications: You have the right to request that you receive your health information

    in a specific way or at a specific location. For example, you may ask that we send information to a particular e-mail

    account or to your work address. We will comply with all reasonable requests submitted- in writing which specify how

    or where you wish to receive these communications

  3. Right to Inspect and Copy: You have the right to inspect and copy your health information, with limited exceptions. To

    access your medical information, you must submit a written request detailing what information you want access to,

    whether you want to inspect it or get a copy of it, and if you want a copy, your preferred form and format. We will provide

    copies in your requested form and form at if it is readily producible, or we will provide you with an alternative format you

    find acceptable, or if we can't agree and we maintain the record in an electronic format, your choice of a readable

    electronic or hard copy format. We will also send a copy to any other person you designate in writing. We will charge a

    reasonable fee which covers our costs for labor, supplies, postage, and if requested and agreed to in advance, the cost

    of preparing an explanation or summary. We may deny your request under limited circumstances. If we deny your

    request to access your child's records or the records of an incapacitated adult you are representing because we believe

    allowing access would be reasonably likely to cause substantial harm to the patient, you will have a right to appeal our

    decision.

  4. Right to Amend or Supplement: You have a right to request that we amend your health information that you believe is

    incorrect or incomplete. You must make a request to amend in writing, and include the reasons you believe the

    information is inaccurate or incomplete. We are not required to change your health information, and will provide you

    with information about this medical practice's denial and how you can disagree with the denial. We may deny your

    request if we do not have the information, if we did not create the information (unless the person or entity that created the information is no longer available to make the amendment), if you would not be permitted to inspect or copy the

    information at issue, or if the information is accurate and complete as is. If we deny your request, you may submit a

    written statement of your disagreement with that decision, and we may, in turn, prepare a written rebuttal. All

    information related to any request to amend will be maintained and disclosed in conjunction with any subsequent

    disclosure of the disputed information.

  5. Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You have a right to receive an accounting of disclosures of your health

    information made by this medical practice, except that this medical practice does not have to account for the

    disclosures provided to you or pursuant to your written authorization, or as described in paragraphs 1 (treatment), 2

    (payment), 3 (health care operations), 6 (notification and communication with family) and 15 (specialized government

    functions) of Section A of this Notice of Privacy Practices or disclosures for purposes of research or public health

    which exclude direct patient identifiers, or which are incident to a use or disclosure otherwise permitted or authorized

    by law, or the disclosures to a health oversight agency or law enforcement official to the extent this medical practice

    has received notice from that agency or official that providing this accounting would be reasonably likely to impede

    their activities.

  6. Right to a Paper or Electronic Copy of this Notice. You have a right to notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your health information, including a right to a paper copy of this Notice of Privacy Practices, even if you have previously requested its receipt by e-mail.
