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.

Your rights

You have the right to:

See your record and get a copy of it. Ask us in writing and we'll take care of it. California law is stricter than federal law here, so we follow California: you can inspect your record within five working days of your written request, and we'll send copies within fifteen days. California also caps what we can charge, at 25 cents a page for paper copies, and we'll tell you what it comes to before we start.

There's one narrow exception that applies to mental health records. If your practitioner believes that handing you a particular record directly would create a substantial risk of serious harm to you, California law lets us decline that part, and it requires us to write down why in your record. If that ever came up, we'd tell you rather than leave you wondering, and we'd offer to send the record to another licensed practitioner of your choosing or give you a summary instead.

Ask us to correct your record. If you think something in your record is wrong or incomplete, ask us in writing to correct it. We may say no, but we'll tell you why in writing within 60 days.

Ask us to contact you a certain way. For example, only by text, or only at a certain number or address. We'll say yes to reasonable requests. If you'd rather stop getting texts from us altogether, reply STOP to any text and we'll stop.

Ask us to limit what we use or share. You can ask us not to use or share certain information for treatment, payment, or our operations. We aren't required to agree, and we may say no if it would affect your care. If you pay for a service in full out of pocket, you can ask us not to share information about that service with your health insurer, and we'll say yes unless the law requires us to share it.

Get a list of who we've shared your information with. You can ask for a list of the times we've shared your information in the six years before your request, who we shared it with, and why. This won't include disclosures for treatment, payment, or operations, or ones you authorized. We'll provide one list a year for free.

Get a copy of this notice. Ask any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.

Choose someone to act for you. If you've given someone medical power of attorney or someone is your legal guardian, that person can exercise your rights and make choices about your information. We'll confirm they have this authority before we act.

File a complaint if you feel your rights are violated. You can complain to us using the contact information above, or to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights at 200 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20201, by calling 1-877-696-6775, or at www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

Your choices

For the following, you can tell us what you want us to do, and we'll follow your instructions:

  • Share information with your family, close friends, or others involved in your care.
  • Share information in a disaster relief situation.

If you're not able to tell us your preference, for example if you're unconscious, we may share your information if we believe it's in your best interest.

We never share your information for these purposes unless you give us written permission:

  • Marketing purposes.
  • Sale of your information.
  • Most sharing of psychotherapy notes, where they exist.

Our uses and disclosures

How we typically use or share your information

To treat you. We use your health information to evaluate you, decide on treatment, prescribe medication, and coordinate your care. Example: your practitioner reviews your medical history and blood pressure readings before writing a prescription, and a member of our clinical team consults with our supervising psychiatrist about your care.

To run our practice. We use and share your information to run our practice, improve your care, and contact you when needed. Example: we review records to make sure our care meets our standards.

To bill for your services. We use and share your information to bill you and provide you with a superbill for your insurance. Example: we give you a coded receipt so you can request out-of-network reimbursement from your health plan.

Appointment reminders and information about your care

We may contact you by email, text, or phone to remind you about an appointment, to send you your paperwork, or to tell you about something related to your treatment, such as a prescription update or a follow-up you're due for. You can ask us to reach you a particular way, or to stop texting, using the rights listed above.

Video appointment recordings

We record video appointments so your practitioner has an accurate record of your visit. Here's how that works:

  • You're told at the start of every appointment that it's being recorded.
  • If you'd rather not be recorded, tell your practitioner before your visit starts and we won't record it. It won't affect your care or how your appointment goes.
  • Recordings are kept in a secure, HIPAA-compliant cloud storage account we control, separate from your chart. Only the people involved in your care can open them. We don't use recordings for training, quality review, or marketing.
  • We keep recordings at least seven years after your last date of service, the same as your medical record.
  • If you'd like a recording deleted, email care@millenniummedicalassociates.com. We'll take care of it, unless the law requires us to keep it.

Prescription monitoring

Before prescribing controlled medications and during your treatment, we check California's Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System (CURES) as required by California law, and we report prescriptions to it as the law requires. Every practice that prescribes these medications in California does this. It isn't something we do because of anything about you.

Records from your previous practitioners

With your written authorization, we ask your previous practitioners for your records, so your practitioner can see your history rather than starting from scratch. We only do this when you've authorized it, and you can withdraw that authorization at any time.

How else we can use or share your information

We're allowed or required to share your information in other ways, usually in ways that contribute to the public good, such as public health and research. We have to meet many conditions in the law before we can share your information for these purposes.

Help with public health and safety issues. We can share your information for situations such as preventing disease, reporting adverse reactions to medications, reporting suspected abuse or neglect, or preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone's health or safety.

Do research. We can use or share your information for health research, subject to the conditions the law requires.

Comply with the law. We'll share information about you if state or federal law requires it, including with the Department of Health and Human Services if it wants to see that we're complying with federal privacy law.

Respond to organ and tissue donation requests, and work with a medical examiner or funeral director. We can share your information as the law allows in these situations.

Address workers' compensation, law enforcement, and other government requests. We can use or share your information for workers' compensation claims, for law enforcement purposes or with a law enforcement official, with health oversight agencies for activities authorized by law, and for special government functions such as military, national security, and presidential protective services.

Respond to lawsuits and legal actions. We can share your information in response to a court or administrative order, or in response to a subpoena.

Service providers

We use companies that help us run the practice, including our electronic medical record, intake forms, scheduling, email and text delivery, video visits, secure file storage, and payment processing. When we share your information with one of them, we share only what they need in order to do that work.

California law

California law provides additional protections for medical information, including under the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act. Where California law is stricter than federal law, we follow California law.
