Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Health Center of Hillsborough PLLC (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Practice”) is required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information (“PHI”), to provide you with this notice describing our legal duties and privacy practices, and to abide by the terms of the notice currently in effect.

We create a record of the care and services you receive from us. This record is needed to provide you with quality care and to comply with certain legal requirements. This notice applies to all records of care generated by the Practice, including those created by our chiropractic, integrative medicine, and support staff.

How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information

For Treatment. We may use and disclose your PHI to provide, coordinate, or manage your health care and related services. For example, we may share information between Dr. Aaron and other members of your care team involved in your treatment, such as coordinating chiropractic, StemWave, cold laser, or acupuncture care.

For Payment. We may use and disclose your PHI to bill and collect payment for the services you receive, including submitting claims to your health insurance carrier or, in cases of a car accident or personal injury claim, to the applicable insurance carrier or attorney involved in your case.

For Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose your PHI to support the day-to-day operations of the Practice, such as quality assessment, staff training, and business management activities.

Business Associates. We may disclose your PHI to third-party business associates who perform functions on our behalf, such as our Electronic Health Records (EHR) provider or online scheduling platform. These business associates are required by written agreement to protect your information consistent with HIPAA.

Appointment Reminders and Treatment Options. We may contact you to provide appointment reminders, or information about treatment alternatives or other health-related services that may be of interest to you.

As Required by Law. We will disclose your PHI when required to do so by federal, state, or local law, such as in response to a court order or subpoena.

Public Health and Safety. We may disclose PHI to public health authorities for purposes such as preventing or controlling disease, reporting abuse or neglect, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Other Uses and Disclosures Require Your Written Authorization. Any use or disclosure of your PHI not described in this notice will only be made with your written authorization. You may revoke that authorization in writing at any time, except to the extent we have already relied on it.
