PRIVACY POLICY

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

The federal law known as HIPAA provides privacy protections for medical records and client rights with regard to the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) used for the purpose of treatment, payment and health care operations. HIPAA requires that the clinic provide you with a Notice of Privacy Practices (the Notice) for use and disclosure of PHI for treatment, payment, and health care operations. The Notice, which is included on this web page, explains HIPAA and its application to your personal health information in greater detail. The law requires that we obtain your signature acknowledging that the clinic has provided you with this information at the end of the session.
