Your Rights Regarding Your Health Information

You have the following rights with respect to your protected health information:

• Right to Access. You have the right to inspect and obtain a copy of your health information, including medical and billing records. This does not include psychotherapy notes. Requests must be submitted in writing to our office.
• Right to Request Amendment. You may request an amendment to your health information if you believe it is incorrect or incomplete, as long as the information is maintained by our practice. Requests must be submitted in writing.
• Right to an Accounting of Disclosures. You have the right to request a list of certain disclosures of your health information made by this practice, as permitted by law.
• Right to Request Restrictions. You may request a restriction on the use or disclosure of your health information for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. You also have the right to restrict disclosure to certain individuals involved in your care, such as family members. We are not required to agree to your request; however, if we do, we are bound by that agreement except when otherwise required by law, in emergencies, or when disclosure is necessary for treatment. If you pay for a service in full out of pocket, you have the right to restrict disclosure of that service to your health plan.
