Protection your Privacy

At Path To Recovery Detox, we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your protected health information (PHI) in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and other applicable laws. This notice outlines how we may use and disclose your PHI, your rights regarding this information, our legal obligations, and how you can seek further information.

1. How We May Use and Disclose Your Protected Health Information (PHI)

We may use and disclose your PHI for purposes related to treatment, payment, and healthcare operations without your specific authorization, as permitted by law. Examples include:

  • Treatment: We may share your PHI with healthcare providers involved in your care. For instance, if you fall ill during your stay and require hospitalization, we may disclose relevant PHI to the hospital staff to ensure you receive appropriate medical attention.
  • Payment: We may use or disclose your PHI to bill and collect payment from you, your insurance company, or a third party.
  • Healthcare Operations: We may use your PHI to improve the quality of our services, train staff, or conduct required administrative activities.

Additionally, we may disclose your PHI without your authorization in specific circumstances, such as:

  • Safety Concerns: If we believe you pose a serious and imminent threat to yourself or others, we may disclose necessary PHI to medical personnel, law enforcement, or others who can help prevent harm, as permitted by law.
  • Legal Requirements: We may release PHI if required by law, such as in response to a court order or subpoena, or to report abuse, neglect, or certain injuries.

For uses or disclosures beyond these purposes, we will obtain your written authorization unless otherwise permitted or required by law.

2. Your Rights Regarding Your Protected Health Information

As an individual receiving services from Path To Recovery Detox, you have the following rights with respect to your PHI:

  • Right to Inspect and Copy: You may request access to inspect or obtain a copy of your PHI in our designated record set, subject to certain limitations. Requests must be made in writing, and we may charge a reasonable fee for copies.
  • Right to Amend: If you believe your PHI is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request an amendment. We may deny the request under certain conditions, such as if the information was not created by us or is already accurate.
  • Right to Request Restrictions: You may request restrictions on how we use or disclose your PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. We are not required to agree to such requests, except in limited cases (e.g., if the disclosure is for payment or operations and you have paid for the service out-of-pocket in full).
  • Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You may request a list of certain disclosures of your PHI made by us over the past six years, excluding disclosures for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations, among others.
  • Right to Request Confidential Communications: You may ask us to communicate with you in a specific way (e.g., at a different address or phone number) to protect your privacy.
  • Right to Complain: If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us by contacting our Privacy Officer (see contact information below). You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request to our Privacy Officer. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.
