THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA") is a federal statute that requires that all protected health information used or disclosed by Crenshaw Medical Collaborative, PLLC, Lisa Hartman, Physician Assistant, PLLC & Soignez-Vous Management Company, ("Practice") in any form, whether electronically, on paper, or orally, are kept confidential. 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 ("PHI"). As required by HIPAA, this Notice of Privacy Practices ("Notice") describes how the Practice is required to maintain the privacy of your PHI, to provide you with notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to PHI, and to notify affected individuals following a breach of unsecured PHI, and describes how it may use and disclose PHI. It also describes your rights to access and control your PHI. We are required to abide by the terms of this Notice and any other notice currently in effect. This Notice will take effect on March 1, 2015 and will remain in effect until it is amended or replaced by us.
It is our right to change our privacy practices provided law permits the changes. Before we make a significant change, this Notice will be amended to reflect the changes and we will make the new Notice available upon request. We reserve the right to make any changes in our privacy practices and the new terms of our Notice effective for all health information maintained, created and/or received by us before the date changes were made.
You may request a copy of our Privacy Notice at any time by contacting our Privacy Officer, Philip Forget. Information on contacting us can be found at the end of this Notice.
We will keep your health information confidential, using it only for the following purposes:
TREATMENT: We may use your health information to provide you with our professional services. We have established "minimum necessary or need to know" standards that limit various staff members' access to your health information according to their primary job functions. Everyone on our staff is required to sign a confidentiality statement.
DISCLOSURE: We may disclose and/or share your health care information with other health care professionals who provide treatment and/or service to you. These professionals will have a privacy and confidentiality policy like this one. Health information about you may also be disclosed to your family, friends and/or other persons you choose to involve in your care, only if you agree that we may do so in writing.
PAYMENT: We may use and disclose your health information to seek payment for services we provide to you. This disclosure involves our business office staff and may include insurance organizations or other businesses that may become involved in the process of mailing statements and/or collecting unpaid balances.
EMERGENCIES: We may use or disclose your health information to notify, or assist in the notification of a family member or anyone responsible for your care, in case of any emergency involving your care, your location, your general condition or death. If at all possible we will provide you with an opportunity to object to this use or disclosure. Under emergency conditions or if you are incapacitated we will use our professional judgment to disclose only that information directly relevant to your care. We will also use our professional judgment to make reasonable inferences of your best interest by allowing someone to pick up filled prescriptions, test results or other similar forms of health information and/or supplies unless you have advised us otherwise.
HEALTHCARE OPERATIONS: We will use and disclose your health information to keep our practice operable. Examples of personnel who may have access to this information include, but are not limited to, our medical records staff, outside health or management reviewers and individuals performing similar activities. These activities include, but are not limited to, quality assessment and improvement activities, auditing functions, cost-management analysis, or training. For example, the Practice may use or disclose your PHI during an audit of its billing practice or HIPAA compliance. In addition, the Practice may use a sign-in sheet at the registration desk where you will be asked to sign your name. The Practice may also call you by name in the waiting room when your physician is ready to see you. The Practice may use or disclose your health information to provide you with appointment reminders, including, but not limited to, voicemail messages, text messages, emails, postcards or letters or to provide you with information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you. The Practice may also contact you for the Practice's fundraising purposes which you will have the opportunity to opt-out.
BUSINESS ASSOCIATES: The Practice will use and disclose your PHI, as needed, to business associates. There are some services provided in the Practice through contracts with business associates (i.e., the Practice may disclose PHI to a company who bills insurance companies on the Practice's behalf to enable that company to assist in obtaining payment for the healthcare services provided). To protect your PHI the Practice will require its business associates to appropriately safeguard the information.
OTHER USES OR DISCLOSURES: The Practice may also disclose your PHI for the following additional purposes without your authorization: when required by law (statute, law enforcement, judicial or administrative order); for public health activities (to public health or legal authorities charged with preventing or controlling disease, injury, disability, child abuse or neglect, etc., as required by law); when there is a belief you are a victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence; for health oversight activities (to public agencies or legal authorities charged with overseeing the health care system, government programs in which health information is necessary to determine eligibility or compliance, or to enforce civil rights); for judicial or administrative proceedings (pursuant to court order or subpoena if assurances are received); for law enforcement purposes; to funeral directors, coroners, or organ procurement organizations; for research; if there is a belief of a serious threat to health and safety; for certain essential government functions (national security, military, etc.); to comply with workers' compensation; and as part of a limited data set pursuant to a data use agreement for research, public health or health care operations.
NON-ROUTINE DISCLOSURES: You have the right to receive a list of non-routine disclosures we have made of your health care information. (When we make a routine disclosure of your information to a professional for treatment and/or payment purposes, we do not keep a record of routine disclosures: therefore these are not available.) You have the right to a list of instances in which we, or our business associates, disclosed information for reasons other than treatment, payment or healthcare operations. You can request non-routine disclosures going back 6 years starting on March 1, 2015.
Any uses or disclosures outside the scope described above will be made only with your written authorization. Most uses or disclosures of chart notes, photographs and of PHI for marketing purposes and the sale of PHI require an authorization. You may revoke such authorization in writing at any time and the Practice is required to honor and abide by that revocation, except to the extent that it has already taken actions relying on your authorization.
ACCESS: Upon written request, you have the right to inspect and get copies of your health information (and that of an individual for whom you are a legal guardian). There will be some limited exceptions. If you wish to examine your health information, you will need to complete and submit an appropriate request form. Contact our Privacy Officer for a copy of the Request Form. You may also request access by sending us a letter to the address at the end of this Notice. Once approved, an appointment can be made to review your records. Copies, if requested, will be $1.00 for each page and the staff time charged will be $40 per hour including the time required to locate and copy your health information. If you want the copies mailed to you, postage will also be charged. If you prefer a summary or an explanation of your health information, we will provide it for a fee. Please contact our Privacy Officer for a fee and/or for an explanation of our fee structure.
AMENDMENT: You have the right to amend your healthcare information, if you feel it is inaccurate or incomplete. Your request must be in writing and must include an explanation of why the information should be amended. Under certain circumstances, your request may be denied. If the Practice denies the request, it will do so in writing and you will have the ability to file a statement of disagreement. You also have the right to amend your records by providing us with a written addendum with respect to any item or statement in your record that you believe to be incomplete or incorrect (limited to 250 words per alleged incomplete or incorrect item).
RESTRICTIONS: You have the right to request that we place additional restrictions on our use or disclosure of your health information. We do not have to agree to these additional restrictions, but if we do, we will abide by our agreement, (Except in emergencies). Generally, the Practice is not legally required to agree to a requested restriction. However, if the request is made to restrict disclosure to a health plan for purposes of carrying out Payment or Health Care Operations and the PHI pertains solely to a health care item or service for which you have paid out of pocket in full, the Practice is legally required to agree to the requested restriction. Please contact our Privacy Officer if you want to further restrict access to your health care information. This request must be submitted in writing.
You have the right to file a complaint with us if you feel we have not complied with our Privacy Policies. Your complaint should be directed to our Privacy Officer. If you feel we may have violated your privacy rights, or if you disagree with a decision we made regarding your access to your health information, you can complain to us. In writing. Request a Complaint Form from our Privacy Officer. We support your right to the privacy of your information and will not retaliate in any way if you choose to file a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
