The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires us to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information, to notify you promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised your information, and to give you access to our comprehensive Notice of Privacy Practices.

You have the right to:

• Get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record.

• Ask us to correct your medical record.

• Request confidential communications or limit what we use or share.

• Get a list of those with whom we’ve shared your information.

• File a complaint if you feel your privacy rights have been violated.
