Payment: Billing and processing insurance claims
Healthcare Operations: Quality improvement activities, staff training, and compliance audits
Mandated Reporting: Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation as required by law

We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your PHI from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These safeguards include staff training, secure electronic systems, encryption, and controlled access to physical records.
In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, we will notify you as required by law. This notification will include information about what happened, steps you can take to protect yourself, and actions we are taking to mitigate the breach.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us or with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
We reserve the right to modify this HIPAA Privacy Policy at any time. Updated policies will be posted on our website and made available upon request.
