Protecting Your Confidential Health Information is Important to Us

Notice of Privacy Practices

This notice describes how health information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information. Please review it carefully.

Our Promise!

Dear Patient:
This is not a meant to alarm you! Quite the opposite! It is our desire to communicate to you that we are taking the new Federal (HIPAA-Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) laws written to protect the confidentiality of your health information seriously. 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 of our office.

So what has changed? Why a privacy policy now? Very good questions!

The most significant variable that has motivated the Federal government to legally inforce the importance of the privacy of health information is the rapid evolution of computer technology and its use in healthcare. The government has appropriately sought to standardize and protect the privacy of the electronic exchange of your health information. This has challenged us to review not only how your health information is used within our computers but also with the internet, phone, faxes, copy, machines, and charts. We believe this has been important exercise for us because it has disciplined us to put in writing the policies and procedures we use to ensure the protection of your health information everywhere it is used.

We want you to know about these policies and procedures which we developed to make sure your health information will not be shared with anyone who does not require it. Our office is subject to State and Federal law regarding the confidentiality of our health information and in keeping with these laws, we want you to understand our procedures and your rights as our valuable patient.

We will use and communicate your HEALTH INFORMATION only for the purposes of providing your treatment, obtaining payment and conducing health care options. Your health information will not be used for other purposes unless we have asked for and been voluntarily given your written permission.

How your HEALTH INFORMATION may be used:

To Provide Treatment

We will use your HEALTH INFORMATION within our office to provide you with the best dental care possible. This may include administrative and clinical office procedures designed to optimize scheduling and coordination of care between hygienist, dental assistant, dentist, and business staff. In addition, we may share your health information with physicians, referring dentist, clinical and dental laboratories, pharmacies or other health care personnel providing you treatment.

To Obtain Payment

We may include your health information with an invoice use to collect payment for treatment you received in our office. We may do this with insurance forms filed for you in the mail or sent electronically. We will be sure to only work with companies with similar commitment to the security of your health information.

To Conduct Health Care Operations

Your health information may be used during performance evaluation of our staff. Some of our best teaching opportunities use clinical situations experienced by patients receiving care at our office. As a result, health information may be included in training programs for students, interns, associates, and business and clinical employees. It is also possible that health information will be disclosed during audits by insurance companies or government appointed agencies as part of their quality assurance and compliance reviews. Your health information may be reviewed during the routine processes of certification, licensing or credentialing activities.

In Patient Reminders

Because we believe regular care is very important to your oral and general health, we will remind you of a scheduled appointment or that it is time for you to contact us and make an appointment. Additionally, we may contact you to follow up on your care and inform you of treatment options or services that may be of interest to you or your family. These communications are an important part of our philosophy of partnering with our patients to be sure they receive the best preventive and restorative care modern dentistry can provide. They may include postcards, letters, telephone reminders, or electronic reminders such as email (unless you tell us that you do not want the receive these reminders.

Abuse or Neglect

We will notify government authorities if we believe a patient is the victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence. We will make this disclose only when we are compelled by our ethical judgment, when we believe we are specifically required or authorized by law or with the patient’s agreement.

Public Health and National Security

We may be required to disclose to Federal officials or military authorities health information necessary to complete an investi-gation related to public health or national security. Health infor-mation could be important when the government believes that the public safety could benefit when the information could lead to the control or prevention of an epidemic or the understanding of new side effects of a drug treatment or medical device.

For Law Enforcement

As permitted or required by State of Federal law, we may dis-close your health information to a law enforcement official for certain law enforcement purposes, including, under certain lim-ited circumstances, if you are a victim of a crime or in order to report crime.

Family, Friends and Caregivers

We may share your health information with those you tell us will be helping you with home hygiene, treatment, medications, or payment. We will be sure to ask your permission first, In the case of an emergency, where you are unable to tell us what you want we will use our very best judgement when sharing your health information only when it will be important to those participating in providing your care.

Authorization to Us or Disclose Health Information

Other than what is stated above or where Federal, State or Local law requires of us, we will not disclose your health information other than with your written authorization. You may revoke that authorization in writing at any time.
