THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE
USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION.
PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
_____________________________________________________________________________

GENERAL RULE
We are required by law to keep any health information about you private and to provide you with notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your protected health information (PHI). PHI is information that could identify you and that relates to health conditions past, present or future. This “Notice of privacy Practices Notice” describes how we may use and disclose PHI to carry out our services, payment or other health care operations and for other specified purposes that are required or permitted by law.

We will ask you to sign a consent form or our electronic signature pad allowing us to use and disclose your health information when filling your prescriptions. We will not use or disclose your PHI without your written authorization except as described in this notice. We reserve the right to change our practices in this Notice and to make these changes effective for all PHI we maintain. Any revisions to this Notice will be posted in the pharmacy and on our website.

USE OR DISCLOSURES WITH CONSENT
We will use PHI for treatment. Example: Information obtained by the pharmacist will be used to dispense prescription medication to you. We will document in your record information related to medications dispensed to you and services provided to you.

We will use PHI for payment. Example: We will contact your insurer or pharmacy benefit manager to determine whether it will pay for your prescription and the amount of your co-payment. We will bill you or a third party payor for the cost of the prescription medications dispensed to you. The information on or accompanying the bill may include information that identifies you, as well as the prescriptions you are taking.

We will use PHI for health care operations. Example: The Pharmacy may use information in your record to monitor the performance of the pharmacists providing treatment to you. This information will be used in an effort to continually improve the quality and effectiveness of the health care and service we provide.

We are likely to use or disclose PHI for the following purpose: There are some services provided by us through contracts with business associates. Examples include switching companies which compile prescription information without using your name or personal identification, using these services lower the cost of prescription prices. When these services are contracted for, we may disclose PHI to our business associate so that we can perform the job we have asked them to do and bill you or your third-party payer for services rendered. To protect your PHI, we require the business associate to appropriately safeguard the PHI.

Communication with individuals involved in your care or payment for your care: Health professionals such as pharmacists, using their professional judgment, may disclose to a family member, other relative, close personal friend you identify, PHI relevant to that person’s involvement in your care or payment related to your care. Due to the physical configuration of the pharmacy, a diligent effort will be made to keep all oral PHI and written PHI only available to you. If you desire, a personal consultation room is available to safeguard discussions concerning your PHI. You or your personal representative will be required to sign a prescription log required by insurance carriers. This log will only identify you by name and prescription number, no PHI will be disclosed with this signature. If the prescription is delivered or mailed a licensed pharmacy staff member will sign the log denoting your name and the type of delivery.

Your prescriptions can be dispensed by various methods. You or your personal representative, family member, close friend or someone you ask can pick up your prescription at our pharmacy counter or drive up window. Other forms of delivery may include mail or delivery from the pharmacy staff.

Health-related communications: We may contact you to provide refill reminders or information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.

USE AND DISCLOSURES WITHOUT CONSENT OR AUTHORIZATION
In limited situations, the law allows or requires us to use or disclose your PHI without your permission. Some of these situations are:

• when a state or federal law mandates that certain health information is reported for a specific purpose;
• for public health purposes, such as contagious disease reporting, investigation or surveillance and notices to and from the Food and Drug Administration regarding drugs or medical devices;
• disclosures to governmental authorities about victims of suspected abuse, neglect or domestic violence;
• uses and disclosures for health oversight activities, such as licensing of doctors, audits by Medicare or Medicaid or investigation of possible violations of health care laws;
• disclosures for judicial and administrative proceedings, such as in response to subpoenas or orders of court or administrative agencies;
• disclosures for law enforcement purposes such as to provide information about someone who is or is suspected to be a victim of a crime, to provide information about a crime at our location or to report a crime that happened somewhere else;
• disclosures to a medical examiner to identify a dead person or to determine the cause of death, to funeral directors to aid in burial or to organizations that handle organ or tissue donations;
• uses or disclosures for health related research;
