We may deny your request to inspect and copy in certain very limited circumstances. If you are denied access to medical information, you may request that the denial be reviewed. Another licensed health care professional chosen by us will review your request and the denial. The person conducting the review will not be the person who denied your request. We will comply with the outcome of the review.

How We May Use and Disclose Medical Information About You

The following categories describe different ways that we are permitted to use and disclose medical information as a health care provider, although some of these categories may not apply to our business and we may not actually use or disclose your medical information for such purposes. For each category of uses or disclosures, we will explain what we mean and try to give some examples. Not every use or disclosure in a category will be listed. However, all of the ways we are permitted or required to use and disclose information will fall within one of the categories.

For Treatment. 

We may use medical information about you to provide you with medical treatment, products, or services. We may disclose medical information about you to Doctors, Nurses, Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, or any other health care professional who are involved in your care. We also may disclose medical information about you to people who may be involved in your medical care after you have received our products and services, such as family members, clergy or others we use to provide services that are part of your care.

For Payment. 

We may use and disclose medical information about you so that the treatment and services we provide you may be billed to and payment may be collected from you, an insurance company, or a third party. For example, we may need to give your health plan information about products and services we provided to you so your health plan will pay us or reimburse you for the products and services. We may also tell your health plan about a treatment you are going to receive to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover the treatment.

For Health Care Operations. 

We may use and disclose medical information about you for our health care operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run our company and make sure that all of our patients receive quality care. For example, we may use medical information to review our services and to evaluate the performance of our staff in providing equipment for you. We may also combine medical information about many clients to decide what additional services we should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new products are effective. We may also disclose information to Doctors, Nurses, Occupational Therapist, or Physical Therapist, or any other health care professional for review and learning purposes. We may remove information that identifies you from this set of medical information so others may use it to study health care and health care delivery without learning who the specific patients are.

Appointment Reminders. 

We may use and disclose medical information to contact you as a reminder that you have an appointment for evaluation or services.

Treatment Alternatives.

We may use and disclose medical information to tell you about or recommend possible treatment options or alternative equipment that may be of interest to you.

We may release medical information about you to a friend or family member who is involved in your medical care. We may also give information to someone who helps pay for your care. We may also tell your family or friends your location and condition and that you are receiving products and services from us. In addition, we may disclose medical information about you to any entity assisting in a disaster relief effort so that your family can be notified about your condition, status and location.

As Required By Law. 

We will disclose medical information about you when required to do so by federal, state or local law.

To Avert a Serious Threat to Health or Safety.
