THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
We respect our legal obligation to keep health information that identifies you or your family members private. We are obligated by law to give you notice of our privacy practices at your first visit with us. This Notice describes how we protect your health information and what rights you have regarding it.
TREATMENT AND HEALTH CARE OPERATIONS
The most common reason why we use or disclose your health information is for treatment or healthcare operations. Examples of how we use or disclose information for treatment purposes are: setting up an appointment for you; referring you to another doctor or clinic; or assisting in getting copies of your health information from another professional that you may have seen prior to working with Complete Injury Management (CIM). Examples of how we use or disclose your health information for health care operations are: financial or billing audits; internal quality assurance; personnel decisions; participation in managed care plans; defense of legal matters; business planning; and outside storage of our records. We routinely use your health information inside our office for these purposes without any special permission. If we need to disclose your health information outside of our office for these reasons, we usually will not ask you for special written permission.
USES AND DISCLOSURES FOR OTHER REASONS WITHOUT PERMISSION
In some limited situations, the law allows or requires us to use or disclose your health information without your permission. Not all of these situations will apply to us; some may never come up at our office at all. Such uses or disclosures are:
• When a state or federal law mandates that certain health information be reported for a specific purpose.
• For public health purposes, such as contagious disease reporting, investigation or surveillance; and notices to and from the federal Food and Drug Administration regarding drugs or medical devices.
• Disclosures to governmental authorities about victims of suspected abuse, neglect or domestic violence.
• Uses and disclosures for health oversight activities, such as for the licensing of doctors; for audits by Medicare or Medicaid; or for investigation of possible violations of health care laws.
• Disclosures for judicial and administrative proceedings, such as in response to subpoenas or orders of courts or administrative agencies.
• Disclosures for law enforcement purposes, such as to provide information about someone who is or is suspected to be a victim of a crime; to provide information about a crime at our office; or to report a crime that happened somewhere else.
• Disclosure to a medical examiner to identify a dead person or to determine the cause of death; or to funeral directors to aid in burial; or to organizations that handle organ or tissue donations.
• Uses or disclosures for health-related research.
• Uses or disclosures for fundraising; we will provide you, in any fundraising materials, a description of how you may opt out of receiving future fund-raising communications.
• Uses and disclosures to prevent a serious threat to health or safety.
• Uses or disclosures for specialized government functions, such as for the protection of the president or high-ranking government officials; for lawful national intelligence activities; for military purposes; or for the evaluation and health of members of the foreign service.
• Disclosures of de-identified information.
• Disclosures relating to worker’s compensation programs.
• Disclosures of a “limited data set” for research, public health, or health care operations.
• Incidental disclosures that are an unavoidable by-product of permitted uses or disclosures.
• Disclosures to “business associates” who perform health care operations for us and who commit to respect the privacy of your health information.
APPOINTMENT REMINDERS
We may call or write to remind you of scheduled appointments, or that it is time to make a routine appointment. We may also call or write to notify you of other treatments or services available at our office that might help you. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will email you an appointment reminder and/or leave you a reminder message on your preferred telephone answering machine or smartphone.
OTHER USES AND DISCLOSURES
We will not make any other uses or disclosures of your health information unless you sign a written “authorization form.” The content of an “authorization form” is determined by federal law. Sometimes, we may initiate the authorization process if the use or disclosure is our idea. Sometimes, you may initiate the process if it’s your idea for us to send your information to someone else. Typically, in this situation you will give us a properly completed authorization form, or you can use one of ours. If we initiate the process and ask you to sign an authorization form, you do not have to sign it. If you do not sign the authorization, we cannot make the use or disclosure. If you do sign one, you may revoke it at any time unless we have already acted in reliance upon it. Revocations must be in writing. Send them to the attention of the privacy officer at the address at the beginning of this Notice.
YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION
The law gives you many rights regarding your health information. You can:
• ask us to restrict our uses and disclosures for purposes of treatment (except emergency treatment or health care operations. We do not have to agree to do this, but if we agree, we must honor the restrictions that you want.

If you want to ask for confidential communications, send a written request to the office contact information listed at the end of this Notice.
• ask to see or to get photocopies of your health information. By law, there are a few limited situations in which we can refuse to permit access or copying.

You may have to pay for photocopies in advance. If we deny your request, we will send you a written explanation, and instructions about how to get an impartial review of our denial if one is legally available.

If we do not agree, you can write a statement of your position, and we will include it with your health information along with any rebuttal statement that we may write. Once your statement of position and/or our rebuttal is included in your health information, we will send it along whenever we make a permitted disclosure of your health information. By law, we can have one 30 day extension of time to consider a request for amendment if we notify you in writing of the extension. If you want to ask us to amend your health information, send a written request, including your reasons for the amendment, to the contact information shown at the end of this Notice.

You are entitled to one such list per year without charge. If you want more frequent lists, you will have to pay for them in advance. We will usually respond to your request within 60 days of receiving it, but by law we can have one 30 day extension of time if we notify you of the extension in writing. If you want a list send a written request to the contact information shown at the end of this Notice.
