Request confidential communications. You can ask us to contact you in a specific way, for example at home, at your office, or on your cell phone, or to send mail to a different address. We will say yes to all reasonable requests.

Ask us to limit what we use or share. You can ask us not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or our operations. We are not required to agree to your request, and we may say no, for example if it could affect your care. If we agree to your request, we may still share this information in the event that you need emergency treatment.

If you pay for a service or health care item out of pocket in full, you can ask us not to share that information for the purpose of payment or our operations with your health insurer. We will say yes unless a law requires us to share that information.

Get a list of those with whom we have shared information. You can ask for a list of the times we have shared your health information for six years prior to the date you ask, who we shared it with, and why. We will include all the disclosures except for those about treatment, payment, and health care operations, and certain other disclosures such as any you asked us to make. We will provide one accounting a year for free but will charge a reasonable, cost-based fee if you ask for another one within 12 months.

Get a copy of this privacy notice. You can ask for a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you have agreed to receive the notice electronically. We will provide you with a paper copy promptly.

Choose someone to act for you. If someone has authority to act as your personal representative, such as if someone has your medical power of attorney or is your legal guardian, that person can exercise your rights and make choices about your health information. We will make sure the person has this authority and can act for you before we take any action.

File a complaint if you feel your rights are violated. You can complain if you feel we have violated your rights by contacting us at privacy@deserttms.com or (602) 600-0325. You can file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights by sending a letter to 200 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20201, calling 1-877-696-6775, or visiting https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/filing-a-complaint/index.html.

Your Choices in Detail

For certain health information, you can tell us your choices about what we share. If you have a clear preference for how we share your information in the situations described below, talk to us. Tell us what you want us to do, and we will follow your instructions.

In these cases, you have both the right and choice to tell us to share information with your family, close friends, or others involved in your care or payment for your care, and to share information in a disaster relief situation.

If you are not able to tell us your preference, for example if you are unconscious, we may go ahead and share your information if we believe it is in your best interest. We may also share your information when needed to lessen a serious and imminent threat to health or safety.

In these cases we never share your information unless you give us written permission: marketing purposes, sale of your information, and most sharing of psychotherapy notes.

We provide mental health care. You can tell us your choices about how we share information relating to that care, and we will follow your instructions to the extent the law allows.

Our Uses and Disclosures in Detail

Treat you. We can use your health information and share it with other professionals who are treating you, including the prescriber who referred you.

Run our organization. We can use and share your health information to run our practice, improve your care, and contact you when necessary.

Bill for your services. We can use and share your health information to bill and get payment for your care. Desert TMS is a private-pay practice. We do not bill health plans and we do not participate in Medicare or Medicaid. On request we provide an itemized statement you may choose to submit to your health plan yourself.

We work with business associates who perform certain functions on our behalf, including administrative and billing support. Each business associate is required by written agreement to protect your health information and may use it only for the purposes we authorize.

Help with public health and safety issues. We can share health information about you for certain situations such as preventing disease, reporting adverse reactions to medications, reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence, and preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone's health or safety.

Comply with the law. We will share information about you if state or federal laws require it, including with the Department of Health and Human Services if it wants to see that we are complying with federal privacy law.

Work with a medical examiner or funeral director. We can share health information with a coroner, medical examiner, or funeral director when an individual dies.

Address workers' compensation, law enforcement, and other government requests. We can use or share health information about you for workers' compensation claims, for law enforcement purposes or with a law enforcement official, with health oversight agencies for activities authorized by law, and for special government functions such as military, national security, and presidential protective services.

Respond to lawsuits and legal actions. We can share health information about you in response to a court or administrative order, or in response to a subpoena.

Arizona Mental Health Records

Arizona law provides additional confidentiality protections for certain mental health records. We will maintain mental health records as confidential and will use or disclose them only as permitted or required by applicable Arizona and federal law. When Arizona law provides greater privacy protection than federal law, we will follow the more protective requirement.

Our Responsibilities

We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information.

We will let you know promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.

We must follow the duties and privacy practices described in this notice and give you a copy of it.
