The Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
regulates the disclosure of consumers’ medical records. HIPAA requires
that all individuals and organizations involved in a patient’s healthcare
follow the HIPAA privacy practices. The Privacy Policy for CienOne outlines
how your medical information will be protected and what your rights
are with respect to the use and disclosure of your medical information.
We will follow our Privacy Policy to help ensure that your personal
medical information is protected.
DISCLOSURE
We may disclose information to other healthcare organizations as
required for the patient’s healthcare, medical billing and healthcare
operations for quality improvement practices. We may provide
information to your healthcare insurance carrier for claims processing.
These healthcare providers and insurers are also obligated by HIPAA
to keep your records private and confidential. We may be required by
law to disclose medical information in response to a request from the
government, law enforcement and or legal judicial orders. You hereby
authorize us to disclose information to any friend or family member
who is assisting with your medical care or providing financial
arrangements on your behalf. Except as provided above, we will not
disclose or release your information to anyone else without your written
permission or other prior authorization.
