Certain uses and disclosures of your medical information require authorization. Other uses and disclosures not described in this notice will be made only with the individual’s authorization. This Notice also describes the rights you have concerning your own medical information. Please note that incarcerated patients do not have the right to notice under this section.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR MEDICAL INFORMATION

medical services and supplies. We may also disclose your medical information to other health care providers or emergency medical personnel who need that information for your treatment and follow-up medical care.

Payment: We may use and disclose your medical information to get paid for the medical services and supplies we provide to you. For example, organizations which pay for your services, such as the state or a health plan, may ask to see parts of your medical record before they will pay us for your treatment.
Health Care Operations: For example, we may use your medical information to conduct quality improvement activities, to obtain audit, accounting or legal services, or to conduct business management and planning. We may employ the services of business associates who may assist us in one or more tasks and who may use, change, or create medical information.

Research: We may use or disclose your medical information for research projects, such as studying the effectiveness of a treatment you received. These re- search projects must go through a special process that protects the confidentiality of your medical information.
Required by Law: Federal, state, or local laws sometimes require us to disclose patients’ medical information. For instance, we are required to report child abuse or neglect, vulnerable adults, and must provide certain information to law enforcement officials in domestic violence cases. We also are required to give information to Workers’ Compensation Programs for work-related injuries.

Public Health: We also may report certain medical information for public health purposes. For instance, we are required to report births, deaths, and communicable diseases to the state government. We also may need to report patient problems with medications or medical products to the FDA, or may notify patients of recalls of products they are using.

We may disclose medical information to law enforcement officials in response to a search warrant or a grand jury subpoena.

We also may disclose your
medical information to law enforcement officials and others to prevent a serious threat of health or safety.

Health Oversight Activities: We may disclose medical information to a government agency that oversees Our clinic or its personnel, such as the State Department of Health Services, the federal agencies that oversee Medicare, the Board of Medical Examiners or the Board of Nursing. These agencies need medical information to monitor Our clinic’s compliance with state and federal laws.

Information with Additional Protection: Certain types of medical information have additional protection under state and federal law. For instance, medical information about communicable disease and HIV/AIDS, drug and alcohol abuse treatment, genetic testing, and evaluation and treatment for a serious mental illness is treated differently than other types of medical information. For those types of information, Our clinic is required to get your permission before disclosing that information to others in many circumstances.

Restrictions on disclosure of PHI to health plan: Our clinic must abide by a request to restrict disclosure of PHI to a health plan if the disclosure is for payment or health care operations and pertains to a health care item or service for which the individual has paid out of pocket in full. Other Uses and Disclosures: If Our clinic wishes to use or disclose your medical information for a purpose that is not discussed in this notice, Our clinic will seek your authorization.
