THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR HEALTH RECORD INFORMATION
Each time you visit a hospital, physician or other healthcare provider, a record of your visit is made. Typically this record contains your symptoms, examination and test results, diagnoses, treatment, and a plan for future care or treatment. This information, often referred to as your health or medical record, serves as a basis for planning your care and treatment and serves as a means of communication among the many healthcare professionals who contribute to your care. Understanding what is in your medical record and how your health information is used helps you to ensure its accuracy, better understand who, what, when, where, and why others may access your health information, and make more informed decisions when authorizing disclosures to others.
We, at Sports Medicine North Orthopaedic Surgery, Inc., pledge to provide you with the highest quality of care and to build a relationship that is based on trust. This trust includes our commitment to respect the privacy and confidentiality of your health information.
This Notice of our Privacy Practices is being given to you because federal law gives you the right to be told ahead of time about:
- How Sports Medicine North will handle your medical information;
- What our legal duties are related to your medical information;
- What your rights are with regard to your medical information.
- A method for filing complaints about our privacy practices
