Notice of privacy practices

Your health information is confidential. It is used only to provide your care, to obtain payment, and to conduct the limited administrative work required to run the practice. Records are stored in a secure, HIPAA-compliant electronic record system.

Releasing your evaluation report or clinical records to a physician, school, attorney, employer, or family member requires your written authorization. You may revoke that authorization in writing at any time, except where information has already been released in reliance on it. Psychotherapy notes and most marketing uses always require authorization.

The law permits or requires disclosure without your authorization in limited circumstances: a serious and imminent threat to your safety or the safety of another person; suspected abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or vulnerable adult; a valid court order; certain public health and health-oversight requirements; and coordination with a professional consultant, who is bound by the same confidentiality.

You have the right to inspect and receive a copy of your record, to request an amendment, to request restrictions on certain uses, to ask for confidential communication by a particular method or address, to receive an accounting of disclosures, to be notified of a breach affecting your information, and to receive a paper copy of this notice.

Telepsychology is provided under PSYPACT authority (APIT Provider #20538) using an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant platform. Sessions are not recorded.
