Privacy Policy

1. Use and Disclosure of Health Information
Unified Adult Family Care uses your PHI solely for purposes related to your care and treatment, coordination with healthcare providers, and billing and payment for services rendered. We may also use your information for internal operations, such as improving our services, quality assessment, and training purposes. Your information will not be used for marketing or shared with third parties without your explicit consent, except as permitted or required by HIPAA.

​

2. Patient Rights
You have several rights regarding your PHI, including:

• Right to Access: You may request a copy of your health records or any information we maintain.

• Right to Amend: If you believe your information is incorrect or incomplete, you can request an amendment to your health records.

• Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You may request a list of instances in which we disclosed your PHI for reasons other than treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.

• Right to Request Restrictions: You can ask to limit how we use or disclose your information. While we will try to honor your request, please note that we may not always be able to comply, especially when disclosures are required by law.

• Right to Confidential Communications: You have the right to request that we contact you through alternative means or at specific locations.

 

3. Security Measures
Unified Adult Family Care implements various security measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of your PHI. This includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

 

4. Disclosure Without Authorization
In certain cases, HIPAA permits the use or disclosure of PHI without your consent, such as for law enforcement purposes, public health reporting, or as required by law. In such instances, we will disclose only the minimum necessary information. You will be informed, and written consent will be required if any disclosure is necessary.

 

5. Filing a Complaint
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you have the right to file a complaint with Unified Adult Family Care or directly with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights. Filing a complaint will not affect your care with us.
