Your privacy is critical to us. We are committed to ensuring the confidentiality of your personal and health-related information in accordance with federal and state regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The following outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information:

1. Collection and Use of Information
   • Before or at the time of collecting personal information, we will identify the purposes for which it is being collected.

     • Disclosure Accounting: You have the right to request an accounting of disclosures of your PHI that were made outside the scope of treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.
     • Restriction Requests: You may request that we restrict how we use or disclose your PHI. While we are not always required to agree to your request, we will consider it.
     • Confidential Communications: You have the right to request that we communicate with you in a certain way or at a certain location (e.g., sending correspondence to an alternate address).
