Notice of Privacy Practices

This notice describes, in general terms, how health information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can access that information. It is provided as a draft for review.

This is a general template and not a final legal document. It should be reviewed and finalized with qualified legal counsel before it is relied upon, and any official notice provided during clinical care governs the handling of protected health information.

Health information generally includes information that identifies you and relates to your physical or mental health, the care you receive, or payment for that care. We are committed to handling such information with care and in accordance with applicable law.

Subject to applicable law and your consent where required, information may be used to:

• Provide treatment: coordinating and delivering care, including with other providers involved in your care.
• Support operations: scheduling, quality improvement, and day-to-day activities needed to operate responsibly.
• Handle payment: activities related to billing and payment for services, where applicable.

In some cases, information may be used or disclosed as required or permitted by law, such as for public health and safety, to comply with legal processes, or to prevent a serious threat to health or safety. Uses and disclosures not described in the final notice generally require your written authorization.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Request access to and a copy of certain health information.
• Request corrections to information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures.
• Request confidential communications through a specific method or location.
• Receive an accounting of certain disclosures.
• Receive a paper copy of the final notice, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.

Telehealth services are intended to take place through private, secure connections. Telehealth requires patient consent and may not be appropriate for every situation. A clinician will determine whether telehealth is appropriate based on the individual's needs and location. Please use a private setting for any telehealth session.

We are committed to protecting the privacy of health information, providing notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and following the terms of the notice currently in effect. Specific obligations should be confirmed and finalized with legal counsel.

Forms on this website are intended to start a conversation and are not a secure channel for sharing protected health information. Please do not submit sensitive medical details through website forms or email. This website is not monitored for emergencies.

We may revise this notice and the changes may apply to information already held. The date above reflects the most recent update.
