NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
How We May Use and Disclose Health Information About You During the Course of Mental Health Treatment
For Treatment: We may use or disclose health information about you for the purpose of providing, coordinating, or managing your health care treatment, and related services. This includes consultation with clinical supervisors or other treatment team members. We would disclose PHI to any other consultant only with your authorization.
For Payment: We may use or disclose PHI so that the services you receive are billed to and payment is collected from you, your funders, or other interested parties. This includes collection agencies if your account becomes delinquent and you do not respond to our requests to resolve your account. Your consent will be obtained when services begin and that consent will remain in effect for as long as you receive services from us. Examples of payment-related activities are: making a determination of eligibility or coverage for insurance benefits, procession claims with our insurance company, reviewing services provided to you to determine medical necessity, or undertaking utilization review activities.
For Health Care Operations: We can use and share your PHI to run our practice, improve your care, and contact you when necessary. For example, we use health information about you to manage your treatment and services. We may share your PHI with third parties that perform various business activities (e.g. billing, typing, attorney, or accounting services) provided we have a written contract with the business that requires it to safeguard the privacy of your PHI.
Required by Law: Under the law, we must disclose your PHI to you upon your request. In addition, we make disclosures to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for the purpose of investigating or determining our compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Rule. Also, we will disclose your PHI about you when required to do so by Federal, State, or Local law.
Without Authorization: We may also use or disclose your PHI in the following situations without your consent or authorization. These situations include:
Victims of Abuse, Neglect, or Domestic Violence: We may disclose PHI to a government authority authorized by law to receive reports of abuse, neglect or domestic violence, if we believe you are a victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. This will occur to the extent the disclosure is: A) required by law; B) authorized by law; or C) agreed to by you and we believe the disclosure is necessary to prevent serious harm to you or other potential victims, or, if you are incapacitated and certain other conditions are met, a law enforcement or other public official represents that immediate enforcement activity depends on the disclosure.
To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety: We may use and disclose your PHI to prevent a serious threat to your health and safety or the health and safety of the public or another person. If information is disclosed to prevent or lessen a serious threat, it will be disclosed to a person or persons reasonably able to prevent or lessen the threat, including the target of the threat. We would do this only to help prevent the threat.
Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment for Your Care: Unless you object, we may disclose health information about you to certain family members or close friends who are directly involved in your care. Such information will be directly relevant to that person’s involvement in your care. We may also give information to someone who helps pay for your care. In addition, we may disclose health information about you to an entity assisting in a disaster relief effort so that your family can be notified about your condition, status, and location. We may also disclose information to the person(s) that you have given legal authority to handle your estate after your death. If there is a family member that you do not want to receive information about you, please notify us.
Medical Emergencies: We may use or disclose your PHI in a medical emergency situation, to medical personnel only, in order to prevent serious harm. Our staff will try to provide you a copy of this notice as soon as reasonably practicable after the resolution of the emergency if you have not already received the Notice of Privacy Practices.
Public Health: Federal and State law may require or permit us to disclose certain health information related to public health risk. We may disclose PHI about you for public health purposes including: prevention or control of disease; injury or disability; reporting deaths; notifying a person who may have been exposed to a disease or may be at risk for contracting or spreading a disease.
Deceased Patients: We may disclose PHI regarding deceased patients as mandated by state law, or to a family member or friend that was involved in your care or payment for care prior to death, based on your prior consent.
Judicial and Administrative Proceeding: We may disclose your PHI pursuant to a subpoena (with your consent), court order, administrative order, or similar process.
Law Enforcement: We may disclose your PHI to a law enforcement official as required by law, for the following purposes: A) In compliance with a subpoena (with consent), court order, warrant, summons or similar process for the purpose to identify or locate a suspect, fugitive, material witness, or missing person; B) About you, the victim of a crime if, under certain limited circumstances, we are unable to obtain your agreement; C) About a death we believe may be the result of criminal conduct; D) In connection with a crime on the premises; E) In emergency circumstances to report a crime, the location of the crime or victims, or the indemnity, description, or location of the person who committed the crime.
Correctional Institution: Should you be an inmate at a correctional institution, we may disclose to the institution or its agents PHI necessary for your health and the health and safety of others.
Health Oversight: If required, we may disclose PHI to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law, such as audits, investigations, and inspections. Oversight agencies seeking this information include government agencies and organizations that provide financial assistance to the program (such as third-party payers based on your prior consent), peer review organizations performing utilization and quality control, and compliance with civil right laws.
Specialized Government Requests: We may use or share PHI about you for special government functions such as military, national security, and presidential protective services.
Workers Compensation: We may disclose your PHI for worker’s compensation or similar programs. These programs provide benefits for work-related injuries or illness.
Verbal Permission: We may use or disclose your information to family members that are directly involved in your treatment with your verbal permission.
