Notice Of Privacy Practices

Please review this notice carefully – the privacy of your PHI is important to us.

OUR LEGAL DUTY:

We are required by applicable federal and state laws to maintain the privacy of your protected health information.  PHI is information that may identify you and that relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health/condition and related health care services.  We will not use or disclose PHI about you without your written authorization – except as described in this notice.

We are required to give this notice about privacy practices, our legal duties, and your rights concerning your PHI.  We must follow the privacy practices that are described in this notice while it is in effect.

This notice took effect on August 4, 2005 and will remain in effect until we replace it.  We reserve the right to change our privacy practices and the terms of this notice at any time – provided such changes are permitted by applicable law.  In the event we make a material change in our privacy practice, we will change this notice and provide it to you.

USES AND DISCLOSURES OF HEALTH INFORMATION:

We use and disclose protected information about you for treatment, payment, and healthcare/program operations as follows:

YOUR AUTHORIZATION:

In addition to our use of your PHI for treatment, payment or healthcare/program operations you may give us written authorization to use your PHI or to disclose it for any purpose.  If you give us an authorization, you may revoke it in writing at any time (except where required by court-ordered services).  Your revocation will not affect any use or disclosure permitted by your authorization while it was in effect.  Unless you give us written authorization, we cannot use or disclose your PHI for any reason except those described in this notice.

TREATMENT:

We may use or disclose your PHI to the referral source for purposes of treatment planning and coordination, reporting compliance/non-compliance issues, and referral to another additional service provider.

We may use or disclose your PHI to obtain payment for services we provide to you.  This may include such activities as verification of coverage and billing/collection activities and related data processing.

HEALTHCARE/PROGRAM OPERATIONS:

We may use or disclose your PHI in connection with our healthcare program operations.  This may include such activities as quality assessment and improvement activities, reviewing the competence and/or qualifications of healthcare/program professionals, evaluating provider performance, conducting training programs, and accreditation, certification, licensing and/or credentialing activities.

REQUIRED BY LAW:

We may use or disclose your PHI when we are required to do so by law – including judicial and administrative proceedings.

ABUSE OR NEGLECT:

We may disclose your PHI to appropriate authorities if we reasonably believe that you are a possible victim of abuse, neglect or domestic violence or the possible victim of other crimes.  We may also disclose your PHI to the extent necessary to avert a serious threat to your health or safety or the health or safety of others – including, if we have good reason to believe that you are engaging in child or elder abuse.

NATIONAL SECURITY:

We may disclose to authorized federal officials PHI required for lawful intelligence, counterintelligence, or other national security activities.  We may disclose to correctional institutions or law enforcement officials having lawful custody of PHI under certain circumstances.
