HIPAA Privacy Policy for Move Muscle & Joint
Effective Date: June 05, 2025
At Move Muscle & Joint, your privacy is important to us. We are committed to protecting your health information as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and applicable Kansas and federal laws. This policy explains how we may use and share your protected health information (PHI), your rights, and how to exercise those rights.
Use and Sharing of Health Information
We may use your health information to provide treatment, receive payment, and run our clinic operations. This includes things like documenting care during visits, sending bills to your insurance provider, and improving the quality of care we provide. We may also share your information with other providers involved in your care or with business associates who help us deliver services, but only as permitted under HIPAA and with safeguards in place.
When We May Share Information Without Permission
In some situations, we may be required or allowed to share your information without your written permission. These include public health reporting, law enforcement, abuse reporting, legal requests, and oversight by health agencies. We may also share limited information to help locate or notify a family member in an emergency, unless you object.
Your Rights
You have the right to see and get a copy of your health records, request corrections, receive an accounting of disclosures, choose how we communicate with you (e.g., phone, mail, email), and ask us to limit certain uses and disclosures. We will honor reasonable requests unless the law requires otherwise.
Filing a Complaint
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with our Privacy Officer at Move Muscle & Joint or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
Our Legal Obligation
We are required by law to keep your health information private, give you this Notice of our privacy practices, and follow the terms of this Notice. We may update this policy as laws or our practices change. Any updates will apply to all records we maintain and will be posted in our clinic and on our website.
