We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your PHI, to provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to abide by the terms of the Notice currently in effect.
How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information
For Treatment. We may use and disclose your PHI to provide, coordinate, and manage your care, including sharing information with other providers involved in your treatment, such as a supervising or collaborating physician, specialists, laboratories, and pharmacies.
For Payment. Because we operate on a cash-pay membership basis, we may use your information to administer your membership, process membership payments, and document services rendered. We do not submit claims to health insurers.
For Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose your PHI for operations such as quality assessment, provider review, and administrative functions necessary to run the practice.
Mobile and In-Home Care. Because our services are delivered at your home, office, or other locations you designate, we take reasonable steps to protect the privacy of your information in mobile settings, including the handling and transport of specimens and records.
Uses and Disclosures That May Be Made Without Your Authorization
Applicable law permits or requires us to use or disclose your PHI without your authorization in certain circumstances, which may include: as required by law; for public health activities; to report abuse, neglect, or domestic violence; for health oversight activities; in judicial and administrative proceedings; for law enforcement purposes; to avert a serious threat to health or safety; for specialized government functions; and for workers' compensation, each subject to the conditions and limitations imposed by law.
Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Authorization
Most uses and disclosures not described in this Notice will be made only with your written authorization.
