THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN ACCESS THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
Whole In One Wellness Clinic is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your health information. This Notice describes how we may use and disclose your protected health information (“PHI”), your rights regarding that information, and our responsibilities under applicable privacy laws, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”).
Whole In One Wellness Clinic is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information, provide you with this Notice explaining our legal duties and privacy practices, notify affected individuals following certain breaches of unsecured protected health information, and follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect.
We may use or disclose your protected health information for purposes permitted or required by law, including:
Treatment
We may use and share your health information with healthcare professionals involved in your care. This may include information necessary to evaluate, coordinate, or provide services such as weight management, IV therapy, injection boosters, and other wellness treatments.
Payment
We may use and disclose health information as necessary for billing, payment processing, determining benefits or coverage, and other payment-related activities, as applicable.
Healthcare Operations
We may use your health information for activities necessary to operate our practice, including quality assessment, staff training, compliance activities, business administration, and improvement of our services.
Business Associates
We may share protected health information with third-party service providers that perform certain functions on our behalf when permitted by law. When required, these organizations must appropriately safeguard your information.
Required by Law
We may disclose health information when required or permitted by federal, state, or local law.
Public Health and Safety
We may disclose information for certain public health activities or to prevent or reduce a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of an individual or the public, when permitted by law.
Legal and Government Purposes
Under circumstances permitted by law, information may be disclosed for law-enforcement purposes, judicial or administrative proceedings, health oversight activities, workers’ compensation matters, or certain government functions.
Certain uses and disclosures of your health information require your written authorization unless otherwise permitted by law.
Where HIPAA requires authorization, this can include certain uses and disclosures for marketing purposes, the sale of protected health information, and certain disclosures of psychotherapy notes.
If you provide written authorization, you may generally revoke that authorization in writing at any time, except to the extent we have already acted in reliance upon it.
We will not use or disclose your protected health information for purposes requiring your authorization without obtaining that authorization.
You have certain rights concerning your protected health information, subject to applicable law. These may include the right to:
Access Your Records
You may request to inspect or obtain a copy of certain medical and billing records maintained about you.
Request Corrections
You may ask us to amend health information you believe is incorrect or incomplete. We may deny certain requests as permitted by law and will explain the reason when required.
Request Confidential Communications
You may ask us to contact you in a particular way or at an alternative location. We will accommodate reasonable requests as required by law.
Request Restrictions
You may ask us to limit certain uses or disclosures of your health information. We are not required to agree to every requested restriction, except in certain circumstances required by law.
Receive an Accounting of Disclosures
You may request a list of certain disclosures of your protected health information made during the period permitted by law.
Receive a Copy of This Notice
You may request a paper copy of this Notice at any time, even if you have agreed to receive it electronically.
Choose Someone to Act for You
If you have given someone medical power of attorney or another person has legal authority to act on your behalf, that person may exercise your rights as permitted by law.
For certain health information, you may tell us your preferences regarding how information is shared. For example, where applicable, you may tell us whether we may share relevant information with family members, friends, or others involved in your care or payment for your care.
We will follow applicable law when honoring these preferences.
Electronic communications, including email, text messaging, patient portals, online forms, and appointment systems, may be used when appropriate.
Whole In One Wellness Clinic takes reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of health information transmitted electronically. However, patients should avoid sending sensitive medical information through general website forms or other communication channels not specifically designated for secure healthcare communications.
If a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your unsecured protected health information, we will provide notification as required by applicable law.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to Whole In One Wellness Clinic using the contact information below.
You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights.
Whole In One Wellness Clinic will not retaliate against you for filing a privacy complaint or exercising your privacy rights.
We reserve the right to change this Notice and our privacy practices as permitted by law. Any revised Notice may apply to health information we already maintain as well as information we receive in the future.
The current version of this Notice will be available through Whole In One Wellness Clinic and, where applicable, on our website.
