Patient health information (PHI) includes information about your symptoms, test results, diagnosis, treatment, and related medical information. Your patient health information (PHI) also includes payment, billing, and insurance information. We are committed to protecting the privacy of your PHI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>How we use your patient health information (PHI)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">This NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICE (Notice) describes how we may use within our practice or network and disclose (share outside of our practice or network) your PHI to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations, for administrative purposes, for evaluation of the quality of care, and so forth. We may also share your PHI for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. This Notice also describes your rights to access and control your PHI.

Despite safeguards, it is always possible in a doctor&#8217;s office that you may learn information regarding other patients or they may inadvertently learn something about you. In all cases, we expect and request that our patients maintain strict confidentiality of PHI. We may use and disclose your PHI to perform various routine functions (e.g.quality evaluations or records analysis, training students, other health care providers, or ancillary staff such as billing personnel, to assist in resolving problems or complaints within the practice).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">We may use your PHI to contact you to provide information about referrals, for follow-up with lab results, to inquire about your health, or for other reasons. We may share your PHI with Business Associates who assist us in performing routine operational functions, but we will always obtain assurances from them to protect your PHI the same as we do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Special Situations that DO NOT require your permissions: <\/strong>We may be required by law to report gunshot wounds, suspected abuse or neglect, and so on; we may be required to disclose vital statistics, diseases, and similar information to public health authorities; we may be required to disclose information for audits and similar activities, in response to a subpoena or court order, or as required by law enforcement officials.
