You have the right to request that we not send health information to health plans in certain circumstances if the health information concerns a health care item or service for which you or a person on your behalf has paid us in full. We will agree to all requests meeting the above criteria and that are submitted in a timely manner.
You have the right to ask to receive confidential communications of information in a different manner or at a different place (for example, by sending information to a P.O. Box instead of your home address). We will accommodate reasonable requests. In certain circumstances, we will accept your verbal request to receive confidential communications, however, we may also require you
confirm your request in writing. In addition, any request to modify or cancel a previous confidential communication request must be made in writing. Mail your request to the address listed below.

We have the right to use and disclose health information for your treatment, to bill for your health care and to operate our business. For example, we may use or disclose your health information:
For Payment. Your PHI will be used and/or disclosed, as needed, to help obtain payment for your services. These uses are often
required to obtain payment from third parties such as your insurance company. A third party may include an insurance company, health plan, or in the case of pre-employment evaluations, your employer,
if the services are being paid for by your employer. Many services require prior authorization from the insurance company, and your PHI may be disclosed to obtain this authorization for such services before they are rendered.

This includes, except for limited circumstances allowed by federal privacy law, not using or disclosing psychotherapy notes about you, selling your health information to
others, or using or disclosing your health information for certain promotional communications that are prohibited marketing communications under federal law, without your written authorization.
