YOUR HEALTH PRIVACY RIGHTS
A Federal law entitled the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, (commonly referred to as HIPAA), safeguards “protected health information” that we create, receive, maintain, or transmit. As used in this Privacy Policy, the term “protected health information” includes any information covered by U.S. federal health laws that we maintain that reasonably can be used to identify you and that relates to your physical or mental health condition, the provision of care to you, or the payment for such care. Federal law limits how we may use and disclose this information. We are also required to, among other things, apply reasonable and appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your protected health information.
