This notice is not meant to alarm you. Quite the opposite! It is our desire to communicate to you that we are taking seriously Federal law (HIPAA- Health Insurance Portability And Accountability Act) enacted to protect the confidentiality of your health information . We do not ever want you to delay treatment because you are afraid your personal health history might be unnecessarily made available to others outside our office.
Protecting Your Confidential Health Information is Important to us!
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully and if you have any questions about this notice, please contact us. This is effective until further notice.
