As a healthcare provider, we are committed to protecting your medical information in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

A. What Is Protected Health Information (PHI): PHI includes any information relating to your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition, treatment, or payment for healthcare services, combined with identifying information such as your name, address, phone number, or date of birth.

B. How We Protect Your PHI: We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your PHI, including secure facilities with restricted access, encrypted data transmission, firewalls, secure servers, staff training, access controls, and confidentiality agreements.

C. How We Use and Disclose PHI: We use and disclose your PHI for treatment (providing and coordinating your healthcare), payment (billing insurance and processing payments), healthcare operations (running our clinic, quality assessments, staff training), and legal requirements (complying with laws, court orders, and public health reporting).

D. Your Rights Under HIPAA: You have the right to access and obtain a copy of your medical records, request corrections to inaccurate information, request an accounting of certain disclosures, request restrictions on how we use or disclose your PHI, request confidential communications by alternative means, and withdraw written authorization at any time
