OUR PLEDGE REGARDING YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION:

 

The privacy of your protected health information or “PHI” is important to us. This Notice will tell you about how we may use and disclose your PHI. This Notice describes your rights regarding your PHI we collect and maintain and certain obligations we have regarding its use and disclosure.

 

We are required by law to:

 

1. Maintain the privacy of your PHI;

2. Give you this Notice describing our legal duties, privacy practices, and your rights regarding your PHI we collect and maintain;

3. Notify you if we discover a breach of any of your PHI that is not secured in accordance with federal guidelines; and,

4. Follow the terms of the Notice of Privacy Practices in effect.

 

YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION:

 

You have the following rights with respect to your PHI:

 

1. Right to Inspect and Copy: You have the right to inspect and copy all or any part of your medical or health record, as provided by federal regulations. You may request and receive an electronic copy of your PHI if we maintain your PHI in an electronic health record.

 

To inspect and copy your PHI, you must submit your request in writing to our Privacy Officer at the physical address listed on the first page of this Notice. If you request a copy of your PHI we may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee in accordance with state law for the costs associated with fulfilling your request.

 

We may also deny your request under certain limited circumstances.

 

2. Right to Amend: You have the right to request that your Telehealth Provider amend your PHI if you feel that the health information contained within your medical record generated by your Telehealth Provider is inaccurate or incomplete. You have the right to request an amendment for as long as we keep the information. To request an amendment, your request must be made in writing, submitted to our Privacy Officer at the physical address listed on the first page of this Notice, and must include a reason that supports your request. Your Telehealth Provider may deny your request under certain limited circumstances.
 

3. Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You have the right to request an accounting of any disclosures of your PHI we have made, except for disclosures made for the purpose of treatment, payment, health care operations and certain other purposes if such disclosures were made through a paper record or other health record that is not electronic, as set forth in federal regulations. If you request an accounting of disclosures of your PHI, the accounting may include disclosures made for the purpose of treatment, payment, and health care operations to the extent that disclosures are made through an electronic health record.

 

To request an accounting of disclosures, you must submit your request in writing to our Privacy Officer at the physical address listed on the first page of this Notice. Your request must identify a time period for the request which may not be longer than six (6) years. The first accounting you request will be free. For additional requests for an accounting occurring within twelve (12) months of the original request, we may charge you for the costs to respond. We will notify you of the cost involved and you may choose to withdraw or modify your request at that time before any costs are incurred.

 

4. Right to Request Restrictions: You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the use and disclosure of your PHI. You also have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the disclosure of your PHI to someone involved in your care or the payment for it, such as a family member or friend. For example, you could ask that we not disclose information to your spouse about a medical service you received.

 

If you pay for a service entirely out-of-pocket, you may request that information regarding the service be withheld and not provided to a third-party payor for purposes of payment or health care operations. We are obligated by law to abide by such restriction unless a disclosure is required by law.

 

To request a restriction on the use and disclosure of your PHI, you must make your request in writing to our Privacy Officer at the physical address listed on the first page of this Notice. In your request, you must tell us what information you want to limit and to whom you want the limitations to apply. We will notify you of our decision regarding the requested restriction. If we do agree to your requested restriction, we will comply with your request unless the information is needed to provide you emergency treatment or disclosure is required by law.

Please note that for purposes of coordinating your care and treatment, each health care provider who provides you with care and treatment through the Platform will have access to your PHI.

Most of the above rights are subject to our being able to reasonably verify your identity (or the identity of someone exercising these rights on your behalf) and authority to make these requests by providing verifiable information such as the following:

• Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Data or an authorized representative.

• Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Data relates to you.

• By email at general@theaftercancer.com 

• By navigating to Account Settings within the App

We will respond to authorized and verified requests as soon as practicable and as required by law. In addition, the above rights are subject to various exclusions and exceptions under the law, and, under certain circumstances, we may be unable to implement your request. We will advise you of any reason for denying or restricting a request.

 

In addition, residents of California also have the right to request once per calendar year certain information with respect to the types of personal information (as defined by California law) we share with third parties for those third parties' direct marketing purposes, and the identities of the third parties with whom we have shared such information during the immediately preceding calendar year.
