5. Intellectual Property Rights.
As a patient of Salar Hazany MD, you have the following rights concerning the PHI that our practice maintains about you:
- Confidential Communications. You retain the right to request that our practice communicates with you in a particular manner or at a certain location. For example, you may request that we contact you on your mobile phone, rather than on your home phone. To request a certain manner of confidential communication, you must submit a written request to Salar Hazany, MD, that specifies your requested method of contact or the location where you desire to be contacted. Our practice will accommodate requests we deem reasonable. You may but are not required to provide a reason or justification for your request.
- Requesting Restrictions. You retain the right to request a restriction in our use or disclosure of your PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. Additionally, you retain the right to request that we restrict our PHI disclosure to only certain individuals who are involved in your care or involved in the payment for your care, (e.g., family members, friends, or guardians). Our practice is not required to agree to your request; however, if we agree, we are bound by our agreement unless we are otherwise required by law, in emergencies, or when the information is necessary. To request a restriction in our practice's use or disclosure of your PHI, you must make your request in writing to Salar Hazany, MD. Your request must clearly and concisely describe the following information:
- The information you want to restrict,
- Whether your request entails a limiting our practice's use, disclosure, or both,
- And, the circumstances in which, and the individuals to whom, the limits apply.
- Inspection and copies. You retain the right to inspect and obtain a copy of the PHI that our practice may use to make decisions about your treatment and healthcare, including patient medical records and billing records. To access a copy of your PHI, you must submit your request in writing to Salar Hazany, MD. Salar Hazany MD may charge a fee for the costs associated with your request, including, but not limited to, the costs of copying, mailing, labor, and supplies. Our practice retains the right to deny your request to inspect or receive a copy of PHI in certain limited circumstances; however, you may request to review our denial. Another healthcare professional selected by our practice will conduct any review.
- mendment. You may ask our practice to amend your health information if you believe it is incorrect or incomplete. You may request an amendment for the duration your information is kept by or for Salar Hazany, MD. Your amendment request must be written and submitted to Salar Hazany, MD. You must provide us with reasoning that supports your amendment request. If you do not submit your request and reasons supporting your request in writing, our practice will deny your request. Additionally, we may deny your request if you ask us to amend information that we deem (a) accurate; (b) complete; (c) not contained in the PHI held and maintained by or for our practice; (d) not contained in the PHI which you would be permitted to inspect and copy; or (e) not written or created by our practice, unless the individual or entity that created the information is unavailable to amend your information.
- Accounting of Disclosures. All our patients retain the right to request an "accounting of disclosures," which is a list of particular non-routine disclosures our practice has made of your PHI for purposes unrelated to treatment, payment, or operations. The use of your PHI as part of the routine patient care in our practice is not mandated to be documented – for instance, the doctor using your information to discuss treatment with a nurse or medical assistant or sharing information with an insurer to file your insurance claim. You must submit a written request to Salar Hazany, MD to obtain an accounting of disclosures. All accounting of disclosures requests must indicate a time period, which must not be longer than six (6) years from the date of disclosure. The first accounting of disclosures you request within 12 months is $25, and our practice may bill for additional lists within the same 12-month period. We will notify you about the costs of additional requests, and you may withdraw your request before incurring any costs.
- Right to a Copy of this Notice. You are entitled to receive either an electronic or a paper copy of this Notice of privacy practices. You may ask our practice to give you a copy of this Notice at any time. To obtain a paper copy of this Notice, please contact Salar Hazany, MD.
- Right to File a Complaint. If you believe our practice has violated your privacy rights, you may file a complaint with our practice or the Department of Health and Human Services Secretary. To file a complaint with our practice, please contact Salar Hazany, MD with a written submission. You will not be penalized for filing a complaint.
- Right to Provide an Authorization for Other Uses and Disclosures. Salar Hazany, MD, will obtain your written authorization for uses and disclosures that are not detailed or identified by this Notice or permitted by law. Any authorization you provide to our practice concerning the use and disclosure of your PHI may be revoked at any time by written submission. Once you revoke authorization, our practice will no longer use or disclose your PHI for reasons outlined in the authorization. Note: our practice is required to retain records of your care.
Please contact Salar Hazany, MD, if you have any questions regarding this Notice or our health information privacy policies.
