Photography:
Our Providers require the use of photography in your medical chart. In short, it is another way to identify the patient and the medical record. Our office does not sell or distribute your personal information including pictures to any outside source. The only exception to this is for payment of your medical claim, your consent and request or required by law enforcement.
HIPAA Consent:
It is the practice of the office not to release your medical information to anyone without your written authorization. If you would like our office to discuss your confidential medical information with someone other than you such as, your primary care physician, spouse or family member, please list the person(s) and their relationship to you.
We are required by law to provide you with a notice that explains our privacy practices with regards to your medical information and how we may use and disclose your protected health information, payment, for healthcare operations, as well as for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. You have certain rights regarding the privacy of your protected health information as we describe them in our HIPAA policy. Please see the staff for a full copy of our HIPAA policy.
