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.

Our Legal Duties

We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information ("PHI"), provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, follow the terms of this Notice currently in effect, and notify you following a breach of unsecured PHI as required by law.

PHI is information that may identify you and relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health condition, the care you receive, or payment for that care.

How We May Use and Disclose Your PHI

We may use and disclose your PHI without your written authorization for the following purposes:

Treatment

We may use and disclose your PHI to provide, coordinate, or manage your dental care and related services. This may include sharing information with other health care providers involved in your treatment or referrals.

Payment

We may use and disclose your PHI as needed to obtain payment for the services provided to you. This may include billing insurance, processing claims, determining eligibility, and collecting balances owed.

Health Care Operations

We may use and disclose your PHI to support practice operations such as quality assessment, staff training, licensing, compliance activities, business management, and appointment reminders. We may also use sign-in sheets and may call you by name in the waiting area when it is time for your appointment.

Appointment Reminders and Communication

We may contact you by phone, email, mail, or text message to remind you of appointments or provide information related to your care.

Other Uses and Disclosures Permitted or Required by Law

We may use or disclose your PHI without your authorization in certain situations, including when required by law, for public health activities, health oversight, abuse or neglect reporting, Food and Drug Administration requirements, legal proceedings, law enforcement, coroners and funeral directors, organ donation, certain research, to avert a serious threat to health or safety, specialized government functions (including military and national security), workers’ compensation, and for correctional institutions or law enforcement regarding inmates.

Uses and Disclosures Requiring Authorization

Other uses and disclosures of your PHI not described in this Notice will be made only with your written authorization, unless otherwise permitted or required by law. You may revoke your authorization at any time in writing, except to the extent we have already relied on it.

Special Protections for Certain Information

Some information, such as HIV-related information, genetic information, alcohol and substance use disorder treatment records, and mental health records may be entitled to special confidentiality protections under applicable state or federal law. We will abide by these special protections as they apply.

In no event will we use or disclose substance use disorder treatment records protected by 42 CFR Part 2, or testimony that describes the information contained in such records, in any civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceedings by any federal, state, or local authority against you, unless authorized by your consent or by a court order after it provides you notice and meets applicable legal requirements.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Inspect and obtain a copy of your PHI (with limited exceptions permitted by law)
  • Request an amendment to your PHI if you believe it is incorrect or incomplete
  • Request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures (we are not required to agree in all cases)
  • Request confidential communications by alternative means or at alternative locations
  • Receive an accounting of certain disclosures of your PHI
  • Obtain a paper copy of this Notice at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically

Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to change the terms of this Notice and to make the new Notice effective for all PHI we maintain. The revised Notice will be available at our office and on our website.
