HIPAA Compliance and Your Privacy

As a dedicated healthcare provider, Les Bois Neurology is committed to the privacy and security of your health information, adhering to the standards set forth by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This policy outlines how we manage your Protected Health Information (PHI) and your rights concerning that information.

Use and Disclosure of PHI: We use and disclose PHI primarily for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations purposes, and as required or permitted by law. We will seek your written consent before using or sharing your PHI for purposes outside of these areas.

Your Rights Over Your PHI: Under HIPAA, you have several rights regarding your health information. These include the right to access, amend, and receive an accounting of disclosures of your PHI. You can also request restrictions on how we use and disclose your PHI, though we are not obligated to agree to these requests.

Patient Consent and Authorization: We obtain patient consent for treatments and healthcare operations as a part of our ongoing commitment to protect your privacy. For uses and disclosures beyond these purposes, we will obtain your explicit authorization, which you can revoke at any time, except where we have already relied on the consent.

Data Security and Electronic Health Records (EHR): We employ rigorous security measures to protect electronic health records and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your PHI. Our electronic systems adhere to HIPAA’s security regulations and include encryption, access controls, and audit controls to safeguard your information.

Comments and Contact Forms: Comments or messages submitted through our website are monitored for spam and handled according to this privacy policy. We minimize the collection of PHI via our website and ensure that any such information is securely transmitted.

Cookies and Analytics: Our website utilizes cookies and analytics tools to enhance user experience and functionality; these tools are not used for collecting PHI. Any health-related information gathered through our website is collected with your consent and protected under HIPAA.
