Our Commitment to Your Privacy

The Practice is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your health information. We are required by federal and state 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 follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect. Each time you receive care from us, we create a record that typically includes your symptoms, examination findings, assessments, treatment provided, and plans for future care. The record itself belongs to the Practice; the information in it belongs to you.

How We May Use and Disclose Your Health Information

We may use and disclose your PHI in the following ways without specific authorization from you:

Treatment. To provide, coordinate, and manage your physical therapy and rehabilitation care, including consulting with or referring you to other healthcare providers.

Payment. To bill and collect payment for services, including verifying insurance eligibility, submitting claims, and pursuing collections when necessary.

Healthcare Operations. For quality improvement, business planning, training, audits, credentialing, and other internal operations across the affiliated entities.

Business Associates. We contract with third-party vendors that support our clinical, communication, scheduling, billing, and IT operations. All vendors that handle your PHI operate under HIPAA-compliant Business Associate Agreements with the Practice.

Appointment Reminders, Home Exercise Programs, and Follow-Up. To contact you about appointments, exercise programs, results, and care coordination by phone, voicemail, text, or email.

Family and Friends Involved in Your Care. Limited disclosure to a person you identify as involved in your care or payment, when relevant and when you have not objected.

Required by Law. When disclosure is required by federal, state, or local law.

Public Health Activities. Including disease prevention and control, reporting injuries, child abuse or neglect, FDA-regulated product safety, and exposure notifications.

Health Oversight, Judicial, and Law Enforcement. In response to subpoenas, court orders, or other lawful processes, and to authorized oversight agencies.

Workers’ Compensation. To the extent authorized by and necessary to comply with workers’ compensation laws, including reporting and documentation required by your employer’s workers’ compensation insurer.

Research, De-identified Data, and Limited Data Sets. Where permitted by law and with appropriate safeguards.

Serious Threats to Health or Safety. To prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to a person or the public.

All other uses and disclosures of your PHI — including most marketing communications, the sale of PHI, and disclosures of psychotherapy notes — require your written authorization. You may revoke any authorization in writing at any time, except to the extent we have already acted in reliance on it.

Your Rights Regarding Your Health Information

Right to Access and Copy. You may inspect and obtain a copy of your medical and billing records, in paper or electronic form. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.

Right to Request Amendment. You may request that we amend information you believe is incorrect or incomplete. Requests must be in writing and include a reason. We may deny requests under limited circumstances.

Right to an Accounting of Disclosures. You may request a list of certain disclosures we have made of your PHI, generally for the prior six years (excluding disclosures for treatment, payment, healthcare operations, and certain other categories).

Right to Request Restrictions. You may request that we restrict how we use or disclose your PHI. We are not required to agree, except that we must agree to restrict disclosure to a health plan when you have paid in full out of pocket for the related service.

Right to Confidential Communications. You may request that we contact you in a specific way (for example, only by email, or only at a particular phone number).

Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice. You may request a paper copy at any time, even if you have agreed to receive it electronically.

Right to Notice of a Breach. We will notify you in the event of a breach of your unsecured PHI, as required by law.

Right to File a Complaint. You may file a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights, without retaliation.

Our Duties

We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your PHI, provide this Notice, follow its terms, and notify you of breaches of unsecured PHI. We reserve the right to change this Notice and to make the changes effective for all PHI we maintain. The current Notice is available at our office, on request from the Privacy Officer, and at kinitopt.com/privacy.

How to File a Complaint

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a written complaint with our Privacy Officer at the contact information above, or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights, online at hhs.gov/ocr/complaints.
