Our adherence to HIPAA standards ensures that your personal health information remains confidential and is only used for authorized purposes.

4. Business Associate Agreements: When necessary, we enter into business associate agreements with third-party vendors who may have access to PHI in the course of providing services to us. These agreements ensure that our business associates also adhere to HIPAA regulations.
5. Patient Rights: You have certain rights regarding your PHI, including the right to access your medical records, request amendments to inaccuracies, and request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures. We respect and facilitate these rights in accordance with HIPAA requirements.
6. Breach Notification: In the event of a breach of your PHI that compromises your privacy or security, we will notify you promptly in accordance with HIPAA's breach notification requirements.
