Privacy Policy

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.

 

I. Our Privacy Pledge and Duties

While we have and always will respect your privacy, a new federal law now requires us to maintain the privacy of hearing health information and other medical information (including examination, treatment, and billing records) about you and to provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to such health information.

We must abide by the terms of this Notice while it is in effect. However, we reserve the right to change the terms of our privacy notices. If we change the terms of the Notice, we will notify you during your next visit or by mail.

 

II. Permissible Uses and Disclosures Without Authorization

In certain situations (described in Section III below), we must obtain your written authorization in order to use and/or disclose your health information. However, here are some examples of how we might use or disclose your health information (other than highly confidential information) without first obtaining your written authorization:

 

A. Uses and Disclosures for Treatment, Payment, or Health Care Operations

Treatment. Your hearing health care professional or staff member may use and disclose your health information to diagnose, assess, and treat your health condition.

Payment. Our insurance and billing staff may disclose your health information to an insurance carrier, HMO, PPO, your employer, or other party that arranges or pays the cost of some or all of your health care, or to verify that such parties will pay for your health care.

Health Care Operations. Your hearing health care professional and members of the staff may use or disclose your health information for quality control purposes or for other administrative purposes to efficiently and effectively run his/her practice.

Appointment Reminders. Your hearing health care professional and members of the staff may need to use your name, address, phone number, and other health information to contact you to provide appointment reminders, information about treatment alternatives, or other health-related information that may be of interest to you. If you are not at home to receive an appointment reminder, a message will be left on your answering machine or at another location that you reasonably request.

Other Providers. Your hearing health care professional and members of the staff may use or disclose your health information to another health care provider, product manufacturer, or a hospital if it is necessary to refer you to them or they are otherwise involved in your care when such information is required for them to treat you, receive payment for services they render to you, or conduct certain health care operations, such as quality assessment and improvement activities, reviewing the quality and competence of health care professionals, or for health care fraud and abuse detection or compliance.

 

B. Disclosures to Relatives, Close Friends, and Other Caregivers

Your hearing health care professional and members of the staff may use or disclose your health information to one of your family members, other relative, a close personal friend, or any other person identified by you when you are present for, or otherwise available prior to, the disclosure. If you object to such uses or disclosures, please notify your hearing health care professional.

If you are not present, you are incapacitated, or in an emergency circumstance, we may exercise our professional judgment to determine whether a disclosure is in your best interests. We may also disclose your health information to notify such persons of your location or general condition.

 

C. Other Permitted Uses and Disclosures Without Your Authorization

Under federal law, we are also permitted or required to use or disclose your health information without your authorization in the following circumstances:

Public Health Activities. We may disclose your health information for certain public health activities such as (i) reporting health information to public health authorities for the purpose of preventing or controlling disease, injury, or disability; (ii) reporting child abuse and neglect to authorities authorized by law to receive such reports; (iii) reporting information about products or services under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration; (iv) alerting a person who may have been exposed to a communicable disease or who may otherwise be at risk of contracting or spreading a disease or condition; and (v) reporting information to your employer as required under laws addressing work-related illnesses and injuries or workplace medical surveillance.

Victim of Abuse, Neglect, or Domestic Violence. If we reasonably believe you are a victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence, we may disclose health information to a governmental authority, including a social service or protective services agency, authorized by law to receive reports of such abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.

Health Oversight Activities. We may disclose your health information to a health oversight agency that oversees the health care system and is charged with responsibility for ensuring compliance with the rules of government health care programs such as Medicare or Medicaid.

Judicial and Administrative Proceedings. We may disclose your health information in the course of a judicial or administrative proceeding in response to a legal order or other lawful process.

Law Enforcement Officials. We may disclose your health information to the police or other law enforcement officials as required or permitted by law or in compliance with a court order or a grand jury or administrative subpoena.

Decedents. We may disclose your health information to a coroner or medical examiner as authorized by law.

As Required by Law. We may use or disclose your health information when required to do so by any other law not already referred to in the preceding categories.

 

III. Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Authorization

Uses or Disclosure With Your Authorization. Other than the circumstances described above, any other use or disclosure of your health information will only be made with your written authorization. Additionally, you have the right to refuse to give us authorization to use or disclose your health information for purposes other than those described above. If you do not give us authorization, it will not affect the treatment we provide to you or the methods we use to obtain reimbursement for your care.

Your Right to Revoke Your Authorization. You may revoke your authorization to us at any time; however, your revocation must be in writing. There are two circumstances under which we will not be able to honor your revocation request:

If we have taken any action in reliance upon such authorization before we receive your request to revoke your authorization.

If you were required to give your authorization as a condition of obtaining insurance, the insurance company may have a right to your health information if they decide to contest any of your claims. If you wish to revoke your authorization, please write to us at the address given in Section VII below.

Marketing. We must also obtain your written authorization prior to using your health information to make you aware of products or services that you may have an interest in purchasing from time to time. We can, however, provide you with marketing materials in a face-to-face encounter without obtaining your authorization. We are also permitted to give you a promotional gift of nominal value, if we so choose, without first obtaining your authorization. Additionally, we may communicate with you about products or services relating to your treatment, case management or care coordination, or alternative treatments, therapies, providers, or care settings.

Uses and Disclosures of Your Highly Confidential Information. In addition, federal and state law requires special privacy protections for certain highly confidential information about you. In order for us to disclose your highly confidential information for a purpose other than permitted by law, we must obtain your written authorization.

Right to Refuse Authorization. You have the right to refuse to give us an authorization to use or disclose your health information or otherwise contact you for purposes other than those set forth in Section II above.
