Your right to privacy in this medical practice is paramount and we will never disclose any of your personal information without your express consent, unless required to do so by law.

This notice describes our office’s policy for how medical information about you may be used and disclosed, how you can get access to this information, and how your privacy is being protected. Please read it carefully.

The Physician/Non-Physician Providers/Nurse Practitioners collectively known as “HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS” will acquire private information about their patients. This is confidential and will not be discussed outside the office, except that the HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS may discuss patients with other healthcare professionals in terms that do not allow identification of the individual.

Your protected health information, including your clinical records, may be disclosed to another health care provider or hospital if it is necessary to refer you for further diagnosis, assessment, or treatment.

Your health care records, as well as your billing records, may be disclosed to another party, such as an insurance carrier, an HMO, a PPO, or your employer, if they are or may be responsible for payment of services provided to you.

Your name, address, phone number, and your health care records may be used to contact you regarding appointment reminders, information about alternatives to your present care, or other health related information that may be of interest to you. If you are not home to receive an appointment reminder or other related information, a message may be left on your answering machine or with a person in your household. You have a right to confidential communications and to request restrictions relative to such contacts, or contact by alternative means.

Additionally, we may be required to disclose your health information in the following circumstances: In the event of an emergency; if required by law; if there are substantial barriers to communicating with you, but in our professional judgement we believe that you intend for us to provide care; if ordered by the courts, government authorities, public health, law enforcement, coroners, or funeral directors; in the event of organ donations, research, military activity, or for national security.

Patients have the right to receive an accounting of any such disclosures made by our office.

Any use or disclosure of your protected health information, other than as outlined above, will only be made upon your written authorization.
Our office shall maintain a patient’s record a minimum of seven (7) years following the last patient encounter with the following exceptions:

* Records of a minor child, including immunizations, shall be maintained until the child reaches the age of 18 or becomes emancipated, with a minimum time for record retention of six years from the last patient encounter regardless of the age of the child; or

* Records that have previously been transferred to another practitioner or health care provider or provided to the patient or his personal representative; or

* Records that are required by contractual obligation or federal law may need to be maintained for a longer period of time.
