Notice of privacy practices
Your rights over your health information, and our duties over it.
Federal law requires us to protect your health information, to tell you plainly how we use it, and to honor a specific set of rights you hold over it. This is that notice. It concerns your clinical record, not the website.
How we use your health information
For treatment: to examine you, plan your care, and coordinate with another provider when your case needs one — an imaging center, a surgeon, your primary care physician.
For payment: to bill you or your insurer, which requires sharing enough of the record to justify the claim.
For operations: scheduling, reminders, quality review and training. Appointment reminders by text or email go only to the number or address you gave us, and you can change the method at any time.
Disclosures we may make without asking you
The law requires or permits a narrow set: reporting suspected abuse or neglect, responding to a court order or subpoena, public health reporting, workers' compensation claims you have filed, and averting a serious threat to health or safety.
Everything outside that set requires your written authorization, which you can revoke. We do not sell your health information, and we do not use it for marketing without your written permission.
Your rights
To see and receive a copy of your record, usually within thirty days.
To ask us to correct something you believe is wrong. If we disagree, your statement of disagreement goes into the record alongside ours.
To ask for confidential communication — a different phone number, or post rather than email.
To ask us to restrict a disclosure. We must agree if you paid out of pocket in full and are asking us not to tell your insurer.
To receive a list of certain disclosures we have made, and to be told promptly if your information is ever breached.
Complaints
If you think your privacy rights have been violated, tell us — (770) 509‑9938, or admin@100yearlifestyle.com. You may also complain directly to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. We will not retaliate in any way for either, and your care will not be affected.
Our duties
We are required by law to protect the privacy of your health information, to give you this notice, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect. If we change it, the revised notice applies to information we already hold, and the current version is always available here and at the front desk.
