NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICE

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

This Notice applies to Therapy Management Corporation (“TMC”) and each of its affiliates or subsidiaries that are health care providers and HIPAA covered entities, including without limitation, Rehab Advantage Solutions PLLC (collectively the “Practice,” “we,” or “us”). We are dedicated to maintaining the privacy of your medical information.

We are required by law to maintain the confidentiality of your medical information, provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and the privacy practices that we maintain concerning your medical information, and to notify you of a breach of your unsecured medical information. We are required to follow the terms of this Notice that are in effect at the time.

At times, TMC acts as a business associate to other health care entities. In that case, the terms of the business associate agreement with the health care entity and their Notice of Privacy Practices applies rather than this Notice.

This Notice applies to records containing your medical information that are created or retained by us. This Notice will be followed by all health care professionals, employees, medical staff, and other individuals providing services at this Practice.

We reserve the right to revise or amend this Notice at any time. Any revision or amendment will apply to all of your medical records that we created or maintained in the past, and to any that we may create or maintain in the future. We will post a current copy of this Notice on our website.

You may also request a copy of the current Notice at any time by reaching out to us at the contact information provided below.

YOUR RIGHTS

When it comes to your medical information, you have certain rights. This section explains your rights and the steps we will take to help you exercise those rights.

Right to Inspection and Copies. You have the right to get an electronic or paper copy of your medical and billing records. This right does not include psychotherapy notes or health information that is not part of your designated record set.

To obtain copies or request inspection of your medical records, you must submit your request in writing to the Privacy Officer. We may charge a reasonable fee that complies with applicable law. We may deny your request in limited circumstances. If your request is denied, you may request a review of our denial.

Right to Request an Amendment. You can ask us to correct the medical information we maintain about you if you believe it is incorrect or incomplete. Your request must be made in writing and submitted to the Privacy Officer. If we agree to your request, we will amend your medical information. In certain cases, we may deny your request. If denied, we will explain your rights in writing. We cannot completely delete information contained in your medical records. Any changes will appear as an amendment.

Right to an Accounting. You can ask for a list of the times we shared your medical information for six years prior to your request. This list will not include disclosures made for treatment, payment, or health care operations. We will provide one accounting per year at no charge but may charge a reasonable fee for additional requests.

Right to Request Restrictions. You can ask us not to use or share certain medical information for treatment, payment, or operations. We are not required to agree to your request, but if we do, we will follow the agreement unless emergency care requires disclosure or law requires disclosure.

Right to Confidential Communications. You can request that we contact you in a specific way or at a specific location. We will agree to reasonable requests.

Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice. You may request a paper copy at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.

Right to File a Complaint. If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We will not retaliate against you.

YOUR CHOICES

In some cases, you can decide what medical information we share and with whom.

We may disclose medical information to family members or others involved in your care unless you object. We may also share information to prevent serious threats to health or safety.

Other uses and disclosures, including marketing or sale of medical information, require your written authorization. You may revoke authorization at any time.

PERMISSIBLE USES AND DISCLOSURES

We may use and disclose your medical information for treatment, payment, and health care operations. This includes coordinating care, billing insurance, improving care quality, and managing operations.

We may also disclose medical information for research, public health purposes, compliance with law, and health oversight activities when permitted by law.

OTHER USES AND DISCLOSURES

We may share medical information with medical examiners, funeral directors, law enforcement, and government agencies as permitted or required by law.

We may disclose information in response to court orders or subpoenas.

Medical information disclosed may be subject to redisclosure by the recipient.

Certain records, including substance use disorder records, may have additional protections.

Electronic communication methods such as email and text messaging may not be secure. By communicating with us electronically, you acknowledge associated risks.
