HIPAA Compliance and Privacy Policy

We are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your Protected Health Information (PHI) in full compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This policy outlines how we protect your data, your rights regarding your health information, and how we use, disclose, and safeguard your information.

1. Privacy Rule Compliance 

  • Patient Rights: You have the right to access, correct, and receive a record of disclosures related to your PHI. We uphold these rights and ensure that any use or disclosure of your information aligns with HIPAA’s standards.
  • Data Minimization: We adhere to the “minimum necessary” rule, limiting our use and sharing of PHI to what is essential for fulfilling specific healthcare-related functions.

2. Security of Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI)

  • Administrative, Physical, and Technical Safeguards: We implement policies and procedures that include employee training, secure data storage, and encryption measures to safeguard your PHI. We regularly review these practices to ensure ongoing compliance.
  • Access Control: We restrict access to PHI based on job responsibilities, protecting your data from unauthorized access or misuse.

3. Breach Notification Procedures

  • Notification Policy: In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, we will promptly notify affected individuals and, if required, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Our breach response plan ensures timely and transparent communication.

4. Authorized Use and Disclosure of PHI

  • Purpose: We only use or disclose PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations, as permitted by HIPAA. Any other use requires explicit patient authorization, ensuring your control over your health information.

5. Your Right to Privacy and Confidentiality

  • We maintain a transparent privacy policy that explains your rights, our obligations, and how to contact us with questions or concerns. Your trust and the confidentiality of your information are fundamental to our commitment to HIPAA compliance.
