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 Commitment to Your Privacy
Justen Watkins, D.O. ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of your protected health information ("PHI") — information that identifies you and relates to your health, care, or payment for care. We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your PHI, to give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect.
How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information
We may use and disclose your PHI, without your separate authorization, for the following purposes:
- Treatment. To provide, coordinate, and manage your care, including conducting your telemedicine visits and consulting with or referring you to other providers.
- Payment. To obtain payment for the services you receive, including processing your payment through our third-party payment processor and, at your request, preparing an itemized superbill for you to submit to your insurer.
- Health Care Operations. To support the necessary administrative and quality activities of the practice.
- Business Associates. To vendors who perform services on our behalf and who agree, by written Business Associate Agreement, to protect your PHI — for example, our HIPAA-compliant, healthcare-grade video communications software and our electronic health record system.
- As Required or Permitted by Law. Including for public health activities, to avert a serious threat to health or safety, for certain law-enforcement or governmental functions, and for other disclosures specifically required or permitted by law.
Uses and Disclosures That Require Your Authorization
Other uses and disclosures — including most uses of psychotherapy notes, any sale of PHI, and most marketing — will be made only with your written authorization. You may revoke an authorization in writing at any time, and we will stop the future uses it allowed, except to the extent we have already relied on it.
Your Rights Regarding Your Health Information
- Access and copies. You may inspect and request a copy of your health records, in the form you request when readily producible.
- Amendment. You may request that we correct PHI you believe is incomplete or inaccurate.
- Accounting of disclosures. You may request a list of certain disclosures we have made of your PHI.
- Restrictions. You may request limits on how we use or disclose your PHI. We will accommodate a request to restrict disclosure to a health plan for an item or service you paid for in full out of pocket, as required by law.
- Confidential communications. You may ask us to contact you in a specific way or at a specific location.
- Paper copy. You may obtain a paper copy of this Notice at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
- Breach notification. You have the right to be notified following a breach of your unsecured PHI.
Our Duties
We are required to maintain the privacy of your PHI, to provide this Notice, and to abide by its terms while in effect. We reserve the right to change this Notice and to make the revised Notice effective for PHI we already have as well as information we receive in the future. The current Notice will be posted on this site with its effective date.
We retain medical records for at least the minimum period required by applicable law, and longer where appropriate.
