LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES

We are required by law to provide you with this notice. It outlines how we may use and disclose your protected health information (PHI) and describes your rights and our obligations regarding its use and disclosure. We shall maintain the privacy of PHI and provide you with notice of our legal duties and privacy practices. We have the right to change these policies at any time. If we change our privacy policies, we will notify you of these changes immediately. This current policy is in effect unless stated otherwise. If the policy is changed, it will apply to all your current and past health information. You may request a copy of our notice at any time by contacting Mosaic Weight Loss Center, LLC at 386-276-1175.

HOW WE MAY USE OR DISCLOSE YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

The following examples describe ways we may use your PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations. Note that not every use or disclosure in a particular category will be listed.

  • Treatment: We may use and disclose your PHI to provide you with treatment. This includes sharing PHI with other medical providers, trainees, therapists, medical staff, and office staff involved in your healthcare. For example, your medical provider might consult with another provider to coordinate your care, or office staff may use and disclose your PHI to outside individuals such as a pharmacy when a prescription is called in.
  • Payment: Your PHI may also be used to obtain payment from a third party.
  • Health Care Operations: We may use or disclose your PHI for operations such as training students, reviewing cases with employees, improving quality of care, and contacting you for appointment reminders. To opt for text communications, send an SMS to 386-200-9963. If sharing your PHI with third-party “business associates” like a billing service, we will have a written contract to protect your privacy. We may also use your PHI for marketing activities, such as sending you a thank-you card with a coupon or information about products or services that might interest you. You can opt out of receiving this information at any time.

We will not use or disclose your PHI for any purpose other than those identified in this policy without your specific written authorization. You may give us written authorization to use or disclose your PHI for any purpose. You can revoke this authorization at any time, but it will not affect PHI that was shared while the authorization was in effect.

  • Appointment Reminders: We may contact you to remind you of your appointments via text, phone, or email.
  • Others Involved in Your Health Care: We may disclose PHI about you to family members or friends if we obtain your verbal agreement or if you do not object when given the opportunity. For example, we may assume that if your spouse or friend is present during your evaluation, we can disclose PHI to them. If you cannot agree or object to a disclosure, we may disclose information if it is in your best interest, based on our professional judgment in urgent or emergent situations.
  • Research: We will not use or disclose your PHI for research purposes without your authorization.
  • Organ Donation: If you are an organ donor, we may release PHI to organizations handling organ procurement or transplantation.
  • Public Health Risks: We may disclose your PHI to prevent or control disease, report adverse events from medications or products, or prevent injury, disability, or death. This may involve healthcare systems, government agencies, or public health authorities. We may disclose PHI to the FDA to report adverse events, defects, or enable recalls as required by FDA regulation.
  • Health Oversight Activities: We may disclose PHI to health oversight agencies for audits, investigations, inspections, or licensing purposes to monitor healthcare systems and compliance with laws.
  • Required by Law: We will disclose PHI as required by federal, state, or local law.
  • Workers’ Compensation: We may disclose PHI to workers' compensation or similar programs.
  • Lawsuits: We may disclose PHI in response to court actions, administrative actions, or subpoenas.
  • Law Enforcement: We may release PHI to law enforcement officials in response to a court order, subpoena, or warrant, subject to legal requirements.

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

  • Access to Medical Records: You have the right to access and receive copies of your PHI. You must submit a written request to obtain your PHI. We reserve the right to charge a fee for obtaining and copying PHI.
  • Amendment: If you believe the PHI we have is incorrect or incomplete, you may request an amendment. Submit a written request explaining why the information should be amended. We may deny your request if it lacks a written explanation or if we believe the PHI is accurate and complete.
  • Accounting of Disclosures: You have the right to receive a list of instances in which we disclosed your PHI, except for disclosures used for treatment, payment, healthcare operations, valid authorization, or as provided by law. Submit a written request to obtain this “accounting of disclosures.” We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee for this process.
  • Restriction Requests: You have the right to request a restriction on the PHI we use or disclose for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. We shall accommodate your request except where the disclosure is required by law. Submit a written request to the individual at the end of this policy.
  • Confidential Communication: You have the right to request that we communicate with you about healthcare matters in a certain way or location. We must accommodate your request if it is reasonable and allows us to continue billing you.
  • Paper Copy of This Notice: You may request a hard copy of this notice if you reviewed and signed it electronically. Contact the individual at the end of this privacy policy to obtain a copy.
  • Complaints: If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with our office or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We will provide you with the address to file your complaint with the Department upon request.
