Strict Security Measures

Uses and Disclosures of Health Information

We use health information about you for treatment to obtain payment for treatment, for administrative purposes and to evaluate the quality of care you receive.

We may use or disclose identifiable health information about you without your authorization for public health purposes for auditing purposes or for reporting purposes to governing state agencies.  In any other situation, we will ask for your written authorization to disclose information.  You can later revoke that authorization to stop any further uses or disclosures.   We may change our policies at any time.  Before we make a significant change in our policies we will change our notice and send the new notice to  you.  You can also request a copy of our notice at any time.  For more information about our privacy practices, contact us at the number listed below.
