information. Please review it carefully.
Protected health information (PHI), about you, is maintained as a written and/or electronic record of your contacts or visits for healthcare services with our practice. Specifically, PHI is information about you, including demographic
information (i.e., name, address, phone, etc.), that may identify you and relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health condition and related healthcare services.
Our practice is required to follow specific rules on maintaining the confidentiality of your PHI, using your information, and disclosing or sharing this information with other healthcare professionals involved in your care and
treatment. This Notice describes your rights to access and control your PHI. It also describes how we follow applicable rules and use and disclose your PHI to provide your treatment, obtain payment for services you receive, manage
our healthcare operations and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law.
Your Rights Under The Privacy Rule Following is a statement of your rights, under the Privacy Rule, in reference to your PHI. Please feel free to discuss any questions with our staff.
You have the right to receive, and we are required to provide you with, a copy of this Notice of Privacy Practices - We are required to follow the terms of this notice. We reserve the right to change the terms of our
notice, at any time, and to make the new Notice provisions effective for all PHI that we maintain. We will provide you with a revised Notice if you call our office and request that a revised copy be sent to you in the mail or ask for
one at the time of your next appointment. The Notice will also be posted in a conspicuous location in the practice, and if such is maintained, on the practice’s web site.
You have the right to authorize other use and disclosure - This means you have the right to authorize any use or disclosure of PHI that is not described within this notice. For example, we would need your written authorization
to use or disclose your PHI for marketing purposes, for most uses or disclosures of psychotherapy notes, or if we intended to sell your PHI. You may revoke an authorization, at any time, in writing, except to the extent that your healthcare
provider, or our practice has taken an action in reliance on the use or disclosure indicated in the authorization.
You have the right to request an alternative means of confidential communication – This means you have the right to ask us to contact you about medical matters using an alternative method (i.e., email, fax, telephone),
and/or to a destination (i.e., cell phone number, alternative address, etc.) designated by you. You must inform us in writing, using a form provided by our practice, how you wish to be contacted if other than the address/phone number
that we have on file. We will follow all reasonable requests.
You have the right to inspect and obtain a copy your PHI - This means you may submit a written request to inspect, and obtain a copy of your complete health record. If your health record is maintained electronically,
you will also have the right to request a copy in electronic format. We have the right to charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for paper or electronic copies as established by federal guidelines. In most cases, we will provide requested
copies within 30 days.
You have the right to request a restriction of your PHI - This means you may ask us, in writing, not to use or disclose any part of your protected health information for the purposes of treatment, payment or healthcare
operations. If we agree to the requested restriction, we will abide by it, except in emergency circumstances when the information is needed for your treatment. In certain cases, we may deny your request for a restriction. You will
have the right to request, in writing, that we restrict communication to your health plan regarding a specific treatment or service that you, or someone on your behalf, has paid for in full, out-of-pocket. We are not permitted to deny
this specific type of requested restriction.
You have the right to request an amendment to your protected health information - This means you may submit a written request to amend your PHI for as long as we maintain this information. In certain cases, we may
deny your request.

or for purposes of treatment, payment or healthcare operations. We will not charge a fee for the first accounting provided in a 12-month period.
You have the right to receive a privacy breach notice - You have the right to receive written notification if the practice discovers a breach of your unsecured PHI, and determines through a risk assessment that notification
is required.

How We May Use or Disclose Protected Health Information Following are examples of uses and disclosures of your protected health information that we are permitted to make. These examples are not meant to be exhaustive, but to describe possible types of uses and disclosures.
Treatment - We may use and disclose your PHI to provide, coordinate, or manage your healthcare and any related services. This includes the coordination or management of your healthcare with a third party that is involved
in your care and treatment. For example, we would disclose your PHI, as necessary, to a pharmacy that would fill your prescriptions. We will also disclose PHI to other Healthcare Providers who may be involved in your care and treatment.
Payment - Your PHI will be used, as needed, to obtain payment for your healthcare services. This may include certain activities that your health insurance plan may undertake before it approves or pays for the healthcare
services we recommend for you such as, making a determination of eligibility or coverage for insurance benefits.
Healthcare Operations - We may use or disclose, as needed, your PHI in order to support the business activities of our practice. This includes, but is not limited to business planning and development, quality assessment
and improvement, medical review, legal services, auditing functions and patient safety activities.
Special Notices - We may use or disclose your PHI, as necessary, to contact you to remind you of your appointment. We may contact you by phone or other means to provide results from exams or tests, to provide information
that describes or recommends treatment alternatives regarding your care, or to provide information about health-related benefits and services offered by our office.
We may contact you regarding fundraising activities, but you will have the right to opt out of receiving further fundraising communications. Each fundraising notice will include instructions for opting out.
Health Information Organization - The practice may elect to use a health information organization, or other such organization to facilitate the electronic exchange of information for the purposes of treatment, payment,
or healthcare operations.
To Others Involved in Your Healthcare - Unless you object, we may disclose to a member of your family, a relative, a close friend or any other person that you identify, your PHI that directly relates to that person’s
involvement in your healthcare. If you are unable to agree or object to such a disclosure, we may disclose such information as necessary if we determine that it is in your best interest based on our professional judgment. We may use
or disclose PHI to notify or assist in notifying a family member, personal representative or any other person that is responsible for your care, of your general condition or death. If you are not present or able to agree or object
to the use or disclosure of PHI (e.g., in a disaster relief situation), then your healthcare provider may, using professional judgment, determine whether the disclosure is in your best interest. In this case, only the PHI that is necessary
will be disclosed.
Other Permitted and Required Uses and Disclosures - We are also permitted to use or disclose your PHI without your written authorization, or providing you an opportunity to object, for the following purposes: if required
by state or federal law; for public health activities and safety issues (e.g. a product recall); for health oversight activities; in cases of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence; to avert a serious threat to health or safety; for
research purposes; in response to a court or administrative order, and subpoenas that meet certain requirements; to a coroner, medical examiner or funeral director; to respond to organ and tissue donation requests; to address worker’s
compensation, law enforcement and certain other government requests, and for specialized government functions (e.g., military, national security, etc); with respect to a group health plan, to disclose information to the health plan
sponsor for plan administration; and if requested by the Department of Health and Human Services in order to investigate or determine our compliance with the requirements of the Privacy Rule.

Effective Date:

It is the policy of Green Clinic not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability. Green Clinic has adopted an internal grievance procedure providing for prompt and equitable resolution of complaints alleging any
action prohibited by Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act (42 U.S.C. § 18116) and its implementing regulations at 45 C.F.R. pt. 92, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Section 1557 prohibits discrimination
on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability in certain health programs and activities. Section 1557 and its implementing regulations may be examined in the office of our HIPAA Privacy Officer, 1200 S. Farmerville
Street, Ruston, LA 71270, 318-251-6306, who has been designated to coordinate the efforts of Green Clinic to comply with Section 1557.
Any person who believes someone has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability may file a grievance under this procedure. It is against the law for Green Clinic to retaliate against anyone who
opposes discrimination, files a grievance, or participates in the investigation of a grievance.
Procedure:
Grievances must be submitted to the Section 1557 Coordinator within (60 days) of the date the person filing the grievance becomes aware of the alleged discriminatory action.
A complaint must be in writing, containing the name and address of the person filing it. The complaint must state the problem or action alleged to be discriminatory and the remedy or relief sought.
The Section 1557 Coordinator (or her/his designee) shall conduct an investigation of the complaint. This investigation may be informal, but it will be thorough, affording all interested persons an opportunity to submit evidence relevant
to the complaint. The Section 1557 Coordinator will maintain the files and records of Green Clinic relating to such grievances. To the extent possible, and in accordance with applicable law, the Section 1557 Coordinator will take
appropriate steps to preserve the confidentiality of files and records relating to grievances and will share them only with those who have a need to know.
The Section 1557 Coordinator will issue a written decision on the grievance, based on a preponderance of the evidence, no later than 30 days after its filing, including a notice to the complainant of their right to pursue further administrative
or legal remedies.
The person filing the grievance may appeal the decision of the Section 1557 Coordinator by writing to the Chief Executive Officer of Green Clinic within 15 days of receiving the Section 1557 Coordinator’s decision. The Chief Executive
Officer shall issue a written decision in response to the appeal no later than 30 days after its filing.
The availability and use of this grievance procedure does not prevent a person from pursuing other legal or administrative remedies, including filing a complaint of discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability in
court or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. A person can file a complaint of discrimination electronically through the Office for Civil Rights Complaint Portal, which is available at:
https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/portal/lobby.jsf, or by mail or phone at:
Green Clinic will make appropriate arrangements to ensure that individuals with disabilities and individuals with limited English proficiency are provided auxiliary aids and services or language assistance services, respectively, if needed to participate
in this grievance process. Such arrangements may include, but are not limited to, providing qualified interpreters, providing taped cassettes of material for individuals with low vision, or assuring a barrier-free location for the
proceedings. The Section 1557 Coordinator will be responsible for such arrangements.
