Policies – Patient Rights

As a patient, you have the right to access, copy or inspect your protected health information, or PHI, in accordance with federal law. You may also have the right to request an amendment to your PHI, or request that we restrict the use and disclosure of it. These rights are further described in our Notice of Privacy Practices and in other policies, which you may have upon request.

To better allow the agency to process request, a patient is asked to indicate the type of request for information:

• Access to simply review my health information.
• Access to obtain copies of my health information.
• Access to review and potentially request amendment of my health information.
• Access to review and potentially request an accounting of how my PHI has been used and disclosed to others.
• Access to review and potentially request restrictions on the use and disclosure of my health information.
