Your Rights
When it comes to your health information, you have certain rights.This section explains your rights and some of my responsibilities to help you.
Get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record
You can ask to see or get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record and other health information I have about you. Ask me how to do this.
I will provide a copy or a summary of your health information, usually within 30 days of your request. I may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.
Ask me to correct your medical record
You can ask me to correct health information about you that you think is incorrect or incomplete. Ask me how to do this.
I may say “no” to your request, but I’ll tell you why in writing within 60 days.
Request confidential communications
You can ask me to contact you in a specific way (for example, home, office, or cell phone) or to send mail to a different address.
I will say “yes” to all reasonable requests.
Ask me to limit what I use or share
You can ask me not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or our operations. I am not required to agree to your request, and I may say “no,” for example, if it could affect your care. If I agree to your request, I may still share this information in the event that you need emergency treatment.
If you pay for a service or health care item out-of-pocket in full, you can ask me not to share that information for the purpose of payment or our operations with your health insurer. I will say “yes” unless a law requires me to share that information.
Get a list of those with whom I’ve shared information
You can ask for a list (accounting) of the times I’ve shared your health information for six years prior to the date you ask, who I shared it with, and why.
I will include all the disclosures except for those about treatment, payment, and health care operations, and certain other disclosures (such as any you asked me to make). I’ll provide one accounting a year for free but will charge a reasonable, cost-based fee if you ask for another one within 12 months.

You can ask for a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you have agreed to receive the notice electronically. I will provide you with a paper copy promptly.

I will make sure the person has this authority and can act for you before I take any action.
