THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
Priority Care Program and its employees are dedicated to maintaining the privacy of your personal health information (“PHI”) as required by applicable federal and state law. The privacy of your health information is important to us, and we are committed to treating and using protected health information about you responsibly. Federal and State laws require us to protect the privacy of your health information and to provide you with this Notice of Privacy Practices, and to inform you of your rights, and our legal responsibilities concerning your health information or PHI, which is information that identifies you and that relates to your physical or mental health condition. We must follow the privacy practices described in this Notice while it is in effect. This Notice takes effect on the date listed above and will remain in effect until we replace it. This applies to all protected health information as defined by Federal Regulations.
We reserve the right to change our privacy practices and the terms of this Notice at any time, as allowed by law. This includes the right to make changes in our privacy practices and the new terms of our Notice effective for all health information that we maintain, including health information we created or received before we made the changes. Prior to a substantial change to this Notice related to the uses or disclosures of your PHI, your rights, or duties, we will revise and distribute this Notice.
The following are examples of the types of uses and disclosures of your protected health information that are permitted under HIPAA. These examples are not exhaustive but are meant to describe types of uses and disclosures that may be made of the health information that is collected, recorded, and provided by healthcare professionals involved in your care.

You have the right to obtain a paper copy of this Notice of Information Practices upon request, inspect and copy your health record, and amend your health record. You may also request an accounting of the disclosures of your health information, request communications of your health information by alternative means or at alternative locations, and request a restriction on certain uses and disclosures of your information. You may revoke your authorization to use or disclose health information except to the extent that action has already been taken.
Disclosure for Treatment: Your Protected Health Information may be used or disclosed to provide, coordinate, or manage your healthcare and any related services. We may disclose your PHI to a physician or other healthcare provider providing treatment to you. For example, we may disclose medical information about you to physicians, nurses, technicians, or personnel involved with your care. It is a means of communication among the many health professionals who contribute to your care and may also be used for medical research, public health improvement, and education purposes.
Disclosure for Payment: Your protected health information may be used and disclosed to obtain payment for your healthcare services. For example, we may send a bill to you or a third-party payor for the rendering of services by us. The bill may contain information that identifies you, your diagnosis, and the procedures and supplies used. We may need to disclose this information to insurance companies to establish insurance eligibility benefits for you. We may also provide your PHI to our business associates, such as billing companies and claims processing companies, that process our healthcare claims.
Disclosure for Healthcare Operations: We may use or disclose your Protected Health Information in order to support the business activities and operations of Priority Care Program. Any use or disclosure would involve the minimum necessary information to do the job, to the minimum number of people, and only to those who have signed a written agreement to comply with HIPAA’s Privacy and Security restrictions protecting your health information. These activities include, but are not limited to, technical support, quality assessment, improvement activities, and other business operations. We may also provide your PHI to accountants, attorneys, consultants, and others to ensure compliance with applicable laws.
With Your Authorization: You may give Priority Care Program written authorization to use your health information or to disclose it to anyone for any purpose. If you give us an authorization, you may revoke it in writing at any time. Your revocation will not affect any uses or disclosures permitted by your authorization before your revocation.
If Required By Law: Priority Care Program may use or disclose your protected health information for law enforcement purposes if required by law. The use or disclosure will be made in compliance with the law and will be limited to the requirements of the laws. You will be notified, if required by law, of any uses or disclosures.
