Welcome to our functional medicine consultation service! We're thrilled to have you here and want to assure you that your privacy and health information are our top priorities. Here's how we ensure your data is safe and handled with care under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
HIPAA is a U.S. law designed to protect your personal health information (PHI). It gives you rights over your health data and sets rules for who can access and share it.
Secure Communication: We use encrypted channels to communicate with you, ensuring your information remains confidential and secure.
Access Control: Only authorized team members can access your information, and they are trained to handle it with the utmost care.
Data Minimization: We only collect information necessary for your consultation and treatment, nothing more.
Access: You have the right to view and obtain a copy of your health records.
Amendments: If you find any inaccuracies, you can request corrections to your health information.
Restrictions: You can request limits on certain uses and disclosures of your information.
Stay Informed: Know your rights and how your information is handled.
Ask Questions: If you're unsure about any aspect of your privacy, feel free to ask us!
Review Our Policies: Regularly check our privacy policy updates to stay informed.
In rare cases, if there's a legal requirement or public health concern, we might need to disclose your information. Rest assured, this is done under strict legal guidelines, and you'll be informed whenever possible.
We understand privacy is multifaceted and sometimes complex. Our goal is to make this clear and straightforward for you.
