OUR PLEDGE REGARDING
YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION
Each time you visit a hospital, physician, or other healthcare provider, a record of your visit is made. Typically, this record contains your symptoms, examination and test results, diagnoses, treatment, a plan for your future care or treatment and billing-related information. Such records are necessary for the healthcare provider to provide you with quality care and to comply with certain legal requirements.
We are committed to protecting the confidentiality of our records containing information about you. This notice applies to all records of your care created or received by the DONIPHAN CO. HEALTH DEPT. / HOME HEALTH AGENCY. Other healthcare providers from whom you obtain care and treatment may have different policies or notices regarding the use and disclosure of your health information created or received by that provider. Also, health plans in which you participate may have different policies or notices concerning information they receive about you.
This notice will tell you about the ways in which we may use and disclose health information about you. We also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of health information.
We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information; give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices and make a good faith effort to obtain your acknowledgment of receipt of this notice; and follow the terms of the notice that is currently in effect.
