Privacy Notice
We respect our legal obligation to keep health information that identifies you private. We are obligated by law to give you notice of our privacy practices. This Notice describes how we protect your health information and what rights you have regarding it.
TREATMENT, PAYMENT & HEALTH CARE OPERATIONS
The most common reason why we use or disclose your health information is for treatment, payment, or health care operations. "Health Care Operations" mean those administrative and managerial functions that we have to do in order to run our office. We routinely use your health information inside our office for these purposes without any special permission. If we need to disclose your health information outside of our office for these reasons, we usually will not ask you for special written permission.

Sometimes, we may initiate the authorization process if the use or disclosure is our idea. Sometimes, you may initiate the process if it's your idea for us to send your information to someone else.
