federal regulation, known as the “HIPAA Privacy Rule,” went into
effect on April 14, 2003 and requires that we provide detailed notice in writing
of our privacy practices. The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires us to address many
specific things in this Notice.
In this Notice, we describe the ways that we may use and disclose health information

of health information that identifies a patient, or where there is a reasonable
basis to believe the information can be used to identify a patient. This information
is called “protected health information” or “PHI.” This
Notice describes your rights as our patient and our obligations regarding the
use and disclosure of PHI.
We are required by law and commit to you to:
1. Maintain the privacy of PHI about you;
2. Give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices
with respect to PHI; and
3. Comply with the terms of our Notice of Privacy Practices that
is currently in effect.
As permitted by the HIPAA Privacy Rule, we reserve the right to make changes
to this Notice and to make such changes effective for all PHI we may already
have about you. If and when this Notice is changed, we will post a copy in our
office in a prominent location. We will also provide you with a copy of the
revised Notice upon your request made to our Privacy Official.
