HIPAA NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES

By law I am required to ensure that your PHI is kept private.  The PHI constitutes information created or noted by me that can be used to identify you.  It contains data about your past, present, or future health or condition, the provision of health care services to you, or the payment for such health care.  I am required to provide you with this Notice about my privacy procedures. This Notice must explain when, why, and how I would use and/or disclose your PHI. Use of PHI is when I share, apply, utilize, examine, or analyze information within my practice; Disclosure of PHI is when I release, transfer, give, or otherwise reveal it to a third party outside my practice. With some exceptions, I may not use or disclose more of your PHI than is necessary to accomplish the purpose for which the use or disclosure is made; however, I am always legally required to follow the privacy practices described in this Notice.
