that it is in your best interest based on our professional judgment. If a young adult age eighteen (18) requests that his or her information not be released to a parent or guardian, we must comply with this request in compliance with state law. For minor children living in divided households, both parents (mother and father) have access to the PHI unless their parental rights have been terminated.

We will provide you with a statement to send to the other parent for your reimbursement.
iv) Disaster Relief: If applicable, we may use or disclose your PHI to an authorized public or private entity to assist in disaster relief efforts and to coordinate uses and disclosures to family or other individuals involved in your care.
2. YOUR RIGHTS. The following is a statement of your rights regarding PHI we gather about you:
A) Copy of this Notice: You have the right to a copy of this notice including a paper copy.
B) Inspect and Copy PHI: You have the right to inspect and obtain a copy of PHI about you maintained by our Practice to include patient and billing records. You must submit a written request and indicate whether you prefer a paper or electronic copy. According to state and federal law, we may charge you a reasonable fee to copy our records. Our Practice does not transmit unsecure PHI via email. However, if you prefer this information emailed to you with encryption or security measures, we will comply with your request and will verify your email address. We suggest sending our Practice an email and we will reply with the attachment. (Note: Under federal law, you may not inspect or copy psychotherapy notes; information compiled in reasonable anticipation of, or use in, a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding. Please contact the Privacy Officer for more details).
C) Amendment: You have the right to have your provider amend your PHI about you in a designated record set. Please consult with the Privacy Officer. We may deny this request and you may respond with a statement. We may include a rebuttal statement in your record.

Breach notification applies to our Business Associates who are obligated to notify our Practice if a breach of unsecured PHI occurs that affects you.
H) Fundraising: If PHI is used for fundraising which is considered "health care operations," basic requirements must be satisfied to include notice to you and a process for you to opt-out. If the individual consents, only specific parts of the PHI may be used for fundraising. Note: Your PHI will not be used in this manner.
3. COMPLAINTS. You have the right to file a complaint if you believe your privacy rights or that of another individual's have been violated. You may contact our Privacy Officer and your issue will be addressed.
