Our pledge regarding client Information

We understand that information about you and your treatment is personal. We are committed to protecting all information about you we have gathered.

Your Rights Regarding Client Information About You

You have the following rights regarding client information we maintain about you:

    • Right to Inspect and Copy

                                                               i.      You have the right to inspect and copy client information that may be used to make decisions about your treatment.

If you request a copy of the information, we may charge a fee for the costs of copying, mailing or other supplies associated with your request.

                                                             ii.      We may deny your request to inspect and copy in certain very limited circumstances. If you are denied access to client information, you may request that the denial be reviewed.

    • Right to an Accounting of Disclosures
    • You have the right to request an “accounting of disclosures” where such disclosure was made for any purpose other than treatment, payment, or health care operations.

                                                               i.      To request this list or accounting of disclosures, you must submit your request in writing. Your request must state a time period, which may not be longer than six years and may not include dates before April 2003. Your request should indicate in what form you want the list (for example, paper or electronic). The first list you request within a 12-month period will be free. For additional lists, we may charge you for the costs of providing the list. We will notify you of the cost involved and you may choose to withdraw or modify your request at that time before any costs are incurred.

    • Right to Request Restrictions

                                                               i.      You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the client information we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment or health care operations. You also have the right to request a limit on the client information we disclose about you to someone who is involved in your care or the payment for your care, like a family member or friend. For example, you could ask that we not use or disclose information about specific disclosures in therapy you made.

                                                             ii.      To request restrictions, you must make your request in writing. In your request, you must tell us (1) what information you want to limit; (2) whether you want to limit our use, disclosure or both; and (3) to whom you want the limits to apply, for example, disclosures to your spouse.

                                                            iii.      HIPPA Privacy laws do not require compliance with your request.

    • Right to Request Confidential Communications

                                                               i.      You have the right to request that we communicate with you about client matters in a certain way or at a certain location. For example, you can ask that we only contact you at work or by mail.

                                                             ii.      To request confidential communications, you must make a written request. We will not ask you the reason for your request. We will accommodate all reasonable requests. Your request must specify how or where you wish to be contacted.
