We are required by law to protect the privacy and security of certain health information that identifies you, commonly referred to as Protected Health Information (“PHI”).

This Notice explains:

  • How we may use and disclose your health information
  • Your rights regarding your health information
  • Our responsibilities for protecting your information
  • How you may raise a privacy concern or file a complaint

Your Rights

When it comes to your health information, you have important rights.

This section explains those rights and some of our responsibilities to you.

Get an Electronic or Paper Copy of Your Medical Record

You may ask to see or obtain an electronic or paper copy of your medical record and other health information we maintain about you.

We will provide a copy or summary of your health information as required by applicable law, generally within the time period required by HIPAA.

We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee when permitted by law.

Certain information may be excluded from access when permitted or required by law.

Ask Us to Correct Your Medical Record

If you believe health information we maintain about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to correct or amend it.

We may deny your request in certain circumstances permitted by law. If we deny the request, we will explain the reason in writing and inform you of any rights you may have to submit a statement of disagreement.

Request Confidential Communications

You may ask us to contact you in a specific way or at a specific location.

For example, you may request that we:

  • Contact you only on a particular telephone number
  • Send communications to a specific mailing address
  • Avoid leaving detailed voicemail messages
  • Communicate through another reasonable method

We will accommodate reasonable requests as required by law.

Ask Us to Limit What We Use or Share

You may ask us not to use or disclose certain health information for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.

We are not required to agree to every request.

However, if you pay for a healthcare service or item entirely out of pocket, you may ask us not to disclose information concerning that service or item to your health plan for purposes of payment or healthcare operations. We will honor that request when required by law unless disclosure is otherwise legally required.

Get a List of Certain Disclosures

You may request an accounting of certain disclosures of your health information.

This accounting may include certain disclosures made during the period permitted by applicable law but generally does not include every disclosure, such as many disclosures for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.

We will provide one accounting within a 12-month period without charge when required by law. We may charge a reasonable fee for additional requests made during the same period if permitted by law.

Get a Copy of This Privacy Notice

You may request a paper copy of this Notice at any time, even if you previously agreed to receive it electronically.

A current copy will also be available through our website.

Choose Someone to Act for You

If you have given another person medical power of attorney or if someone is otherwise legally authorized to act as your personal representative, that person may exercise applicable privacy rights on your behalf.

We may request documentation establishing that person’s legal authority before acting upon the request.

File a Privacy Complaint

You may file a complaint with Cellular Health & Aesthetics if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights.

Your Choices

For certain health information, you may tell us your preferences about what we share.

If you have a clear preference regarding one of the situations below, please tell us what you want us to do. We will follow your instructions when required by law.

Family Members, Friends, and Others Involved in Your Care

You may tell us whether you want us to share relevant health information with:

  • A family member
  • A close personal friend
  • A caregiver
  • Another person involved in your care
  • Someone involved in payment for your healthcare

When you are unable to tell us your preference, such as during an emergency or when you are incapacitated, we may use our professional judgment to determine whether limited disclosure is in your best interest and is permitted by law.

Disaster Relief

We may share limited information with organizations assisting in disaster-relief efforts when permitted by law and appropriate under the circumstances.

Marketing

We will obtain your written authorization before using or disclosing PHI for marketing when HIPAA requires authorization.

Communications permitted under HIPAA without authorization may include certain communications about treatment alternatives, health-related products or services, or services offered by our practice.

Sale of Health Information

We will not sell your PHI without your written authorization when authorization is required by HIPAA.

Fundraising

If we conduct fundraising activities using PHI as permitted by law, you have the right to tell us not to contact you again for fundraising purposes.

How We Typically Use and Share Your Health Information

HIPAA permits us to use and disclose health information in a number of circumstances without obtaining a separate written authorization from you.

Examples include the following.

  • Tell you about health-related services or treatment alternatives

The privacy and security protections available may vary depending on whether communications occur through a secure patient system, telephone, ordinary SMS, or email.

Business Associates

We may share PHI with vendors and service providers that perform functions on our behalf when those functions require access to PHI.

These organizations are referred to as Business Associates under HIPAA when applicable.

Examples may include:

  • Practice-management or scheduling providers
  • Electronic medical record providers
  • Billing vendors
  • Information-technology vendors
  • Secure communications providers
  • Data-storage providers
  • Compliance or administrative service providers

When required by HIPAA, we enter into Business Associate Agreements requiring these vendors to appropriately safeguard PHI.

Other Ways We May Use or Share Your Health Information

HIPAA and other laws permit or require us to disclose health information in certain additional circumstances.

The conditions governing these disclosures vary depending on the situation.

When Required by Law

We may disclose health information when federal, state, or local law requires us to do so.

Public Health and Safety Activities

We may disclose health information for permitted public-health purposes, such as:

  • Preventing or controlling disease
  • Reporting certain injuries or conditions
  • Reporting adverse reactions to medications or products
  • Supporting product recalls
  • Reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence when authorized or required
  • Preventing or reducing a serious threat to health or safety

Health Oversight Activities

We may disclose health information to government agencies responsible for overseeing healthcare systems, healthcare providers, licensing, regulatory compliance, or government benefit programs when permitted or required by law.

Judicial and Administrative Proceedings

We may disclose PHI in response to certain:

  • Court orders
  • Administrative orders
  • Subpoenas
  • Discovery requests
  • Other lawful legal processes

We will do so only when applicable HIPAA and legal requirements are satisfied.

Law Enforcement

We may disclose health information for certain law-enforcement purposes when authorized by law and when applicable HIPAA conditions have been met.

Coroners, Medical Examiners, and Funeral Directors

We may disclose health information to coroners, medical examiners, or funeral directors when legally permitted and necessary for them to perform their duties.

Organ and Tissue Donation

We may share health information with organizations involved in organ, eye, or tissue donation and transplantation when applicable and permitted by law.

Workers’ Compensation

We may disclose health information for workers’ compensation programs or similar programs when authorized by law.

Government Functions

We may use or disclose health information for certain specialized government functions, including military activities, national security, protective services, correctional institutions, or lawful governmental programs when permitted by law.

Research

Health information may be used or disclosed for research only when HIPAA requirements and other applicable research protections have been satisfied.

Depending on the circumstances, this may require:

  • Your authorization
  • Approval by an Institutional Review Board or Privacy Board
  • Use of de-identified information
  • Another legally permitted process

Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Written Authorization

Some uses or disclosures of PHI require your written authorization unless another legal exception applies.

Examples may include certain:

  • Marketing activities
  • Sales of PHI
  • Disclosures not otherwise permitted by HIPAA
  • Uses of photographs or clinical information for promotional purposes
  • Testimonials or patient stories involving identifiable health information

If you provide written authorization, you may generally revoke it in writing at any time.

Your revocation will not affect actions already taken in reliance on the authorization before it was revoked.

Patient Photographs, Before-and-After Images, and Testimonials

Clinical photographs, before-and-after photographs, testimonials, videos, or identifiable patient stories may constitute PHI.

We will obtain an appropriate written authorization before using identifiable patient information for advertising, promotional, social-media, or similar purposes when required by HIPAA.

Declining to authorize promotional use of your information will not affect your eligibility to receive appropriate medical care.

Electronic Communications

We may communicate with you electronically regarding your healthcare when permitted by law and consistent with your preferences and our communication practices.

Electronic communications may include:

  • Secure patient messages
  • Appointment reminders
  • Email
  • SMS/text messaging
  • Telephone communications

Ordinary email and standard SMS may carry privacy risks that do not exist with secure healthcare communication platforms.

You may request a reasonable alternative method of communication when available.

We do not intentionally disclose PHI to general-purpose website analytics or advertising systems.

Patient scheduling, medical records, appointment information, and clinical communications are intended to remain separate from public website analytics technologies.

Substance Use Disorder Records and 42 CFR Part 2

Additional federal confidentiality protections may apply to certain substance use disorder (“SUD”) patient records governed by 42 U.S.C. § 290dd-2 and 42 CFR Part 2.

If Cellular Health & Aesthetics creates, receives, or maintains records subject to Part 2, those records will be handled according to applicable Part 2 requirements in addition to applicable HIPAA requirements.

Part 2 records generally receive additional protections concerning their use and disclosure.

Where required, your consent may be necessary before certain Part 2 information is used or disclosed.

Part 2 records generally may not be used or disclosed in civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceedings against a patient unless permitted by applicable federal law or authorized by an appropriate court order.

This section does not mean that Cellular Health & Aesthetics operates a federally assisted substance use disorder treatment program. It applies only to information that is legally subject to Part 2.

Our Responsibilities

Cellular Health & Aesthetics is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of PHI.

We are responsible for:

  • Protecting your PHI

  • Providing you with this Notice
  • Providing required notifications if a breach compromises the privacy or security of your unsecured PHI
  • Respecting your privacy rights
  • Requiring appropriate protections from Business Associates when applicable

We apply the HIPAA minimum necessary standard when required, meaning we take reasonable steps to limit certain uses, disclosures, and requests for PHI to the amount reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose.

Breach Notification

We maintain safeguards designed to protect your PHI.

If unsecured PHI is acquired, accessed, used, or disclosed in a manner that constitutes a reportable breach under applicable law, we will provide notifications as required by the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule and other applicable laws.

Depending on the circumstances, required notifications may include notice to:

  • Affected individuals
  • The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
  • The media, when legally required
  • Other governmental authorities where applicable

Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to change this Notice and our privacy practices as permitted by law.

Changes may apply to health information we already maintain as well as information we receive or create in the future.
