This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed, and how you can access this information.

Rockaway Chiropractic is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information. We must follow the privacy practices described in this notice and provide you with a copy upon request.

You have the right to request a paper or electronic copy of your medical record, ask us to correct information you believe is incorrect or incomplete, request confidential communications, ask us to limit certain uses or disclosures, receive a list of certain disclosures we have made, obtain a copy of this notice, and choose someone legally authorized to act on your behalf.

We may use and share your health information to treat you, run our practice, bill for services, contact you about your care, coordinate with other healthcare professionals, and communicate with health plans or other entities involved in payment.

We may also use or share your information when required or permitted by law, including for public health and safety, health oversight activities, workers’ compensation, law enforcement, court or administrative orders, subpoenas, research, organ and tissue donation requests, medical examiners, funeral directors, and other government functions.

You may tell us your preferences about sharing information with family, close friends, or others involved in your care. If you are unable to tell us your preference, we may share information if we believe it is in your best interest or needed to prevent a serious and imminent threat to health or safety.

We will not use or share your information for marketing purposes, sell your information, or share psychotherapy notes without your written permission, except where permitted or required by law. This practice does not create or maintain psychotherapy notes and does not create or manage a hospital directory.

If a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information, we will notify you promptly. We will not use or share your information other than as described in this notice unless you authorize us in writing. You may revoke that authorization in writing at any time.

You may file a complaint if you believe your privacy rights have been violated by contacting us directly.
