1. Use and Disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI)

We may use and disclose PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations purposes. For instance, if a client requires hospitalization, we may disclose necessary information to healthcare providers. Additionally, if we believe a client poses a threat to themselves or others, we may disclose relevant information to prevent harm. Other disclosures will be made only with the individual’s written authorization, which they may revoke as permitted by law.

As our client, you have several rights concerning your PHI. These rights include, but are not limited to:

• The right to inspect and copy your PHI.
• The right to request amendments to your PHI.
• The right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures we have made of your PHI.
• The right to request restrictions on how we use and disclose your PHI.

To exercise these rights, please contact our office as outlined in Section 4.

• Maintain the privacy of your PHI.
• Provide you with this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to PHI.
• Abide by the terms of the current privacy policy.
• Notify you if we are unable to agree to a requested restriction on how your information is used or disclosed.
