Your Information. Your Rights. Our Responsibilities.

This Notice describes how your medical information may be used and disclosed and how you can access this information. Please review it carefully.

 

Your Rights

When it comes to your health information, you have certain rights. This section explains your rights and some of our responsibilities to help you.

You have the right to:

  • Get a copy of your medical record. You can ask to see or get a copy of your paper or electronic medical record.
  • Ask us to correct your record. If you think something is wrong or missing, you can request a correction.
  • Request confidential communication. You may ask that we contact you in a specific way (e.g., only by phone or mail).
  • Ask us to limit what we share. You can request that we not share certain information, though we may not always be able to agree if it affects your care or legal requirements.
  • Get a list of disclosures. You can request a list (accounting) of times we shared your information for six years prior to your request.
  • Get a copy of this notice. You can request a paper copy at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
  • Choose someone to act for you. If you have given someone medical power of attorney, that person can exercise your rights for you.
  • File a complaint. If you feel your rights have been violated, you can file a complaint with:
    • Freedom Chiropractic Spine & Injury Center (931-451-8125 or info@freedomspinecare.com)
    • U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Office for Civil Rights
       200 Independence Avenue, S.W.
      Washington, D.C. 20201
      www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints

You will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint.

 

Your Choices

You can tell us your choices about what we share.
If you have a clear preference for how we share your information, tell us. We may share your information:

  • With your family, friends, or others involved in your care.
  • In disaster relief situations.
  • For directory purposes (e.g., confirming your patient status if you are hospitalized).
  • For marketing or fundraising communications — but only with your written permission.

We will never sell your personal or health information.

 

Our Uses and Disclosures

We typically use or share your health information in the following ways:

1. Treatment

We use your information to provide, coordinate, or manage your healthcare.
Example: We may share your information with your primary care physician or specialist for continued care.

2. Payment

We use your information to bill and collect payment from you, your insurance company, or another responsible party.
Example: We may send information about your treatment to your insurer for reimbursement.

3. Healthcare Operations

We use your information for office operations, quality assurance, and training purposes.
Example: We may use data to evaluate the quality of our services or train new staff.

  • Public health and safety: Reporting diseases, injuries, or product recalls.
  • Law enforcement: When required by a court order, subpoena, or investigation.
