HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

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.

TruVida Health is required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information (PHI), to provide you with this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to abide by the terms of the notice currently in effect.

How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information

• Treatment. We may use and share your PHI to provide and coordinate your care — for example, sending records to a specialist we refer you to.
• Payment. We may use and share your PHI to bill and collect payment — for example, sending a claim with supporting information to your health plan.
• Health care operations. We may use and share your PHI to run our practice — for example, quality reviews and staff training.
• As required or permitted by law. This includes public health reporting, abuse or neglect reporting, health oversight activities, court orders, law enforcement requests that meet legal requirements, and serious threats to health or safety.
• Appointment reminders and care options. We may contact you about appointments, treatment alternatives, or health-related services we offer.

Other uses and disclosures — including most uses for marketing, any sale of PHI, and most sharing of psychotherapy notes — will be made only with your written authorization, which you may revoke at any time.

Your Rights

• Get a copy of your medical record, usually within 30 days of a written request
• Ask us to correct information you believe is wrong or incomplete
• Request confidential communications (for example, contact at a specific phone number)
• Ask us to limit what we use or share; we are not required to agree in every case
• Ask us not to share information with your health plan for a service you paid for in full out of pocket — we must agree to this request
• Receive a list of certain disclosures we have made ("accounting of disclosures")
• Receive a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically
• Choose someone with medical power of attorney to act on your behalf

Breach Notification

We will notify you promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.

Changes to This Notice

We can change the terms of this notice, and the changes will apply to all information we have about you. The current notice is available on this page and at our office.
