This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and shared, and how you can get access to it. Please review it carefully.

We keep a record of the health care services we provide for you. You may ask us to see and copy that record. You may also ask us to correct that record. We will not disclose your record to others unless you direct us to do so or unless the law authorizes or compels us to do so. You may see your record or get more information about it at the front desk or by contacting Dr. Joshua Borgardt at [phone].

How we use your information

Treatment: to care for you, and to coordinate with other providers treating you, such as your family doctor or an imaging center.
Payment: to bill you, or an insurer you ask us to bill.
Office operations: scheduling, appointment reminders and running our practice. Our secure practice software and other vendors who handle your information are required by contract to protect it.
Family and friends: we may talk with someone involved in your care if you agree or don't object.
When the law requires or allows it: for example public health and safety reporting, reporting abuse or neglect, licensing board audits, court orders, and workers' compensation.

Only with your written permission: any other use, including sending records to an attorney, marketing, or selling your information (which we never do). You can cancel a permission in writing at any time.

Your rights. You may:

See and get a paper or electronic copy of your record, usually within 30 days, for a reasonable copying fee.
Ask us to correct your record.
Ask us to contact you at a different address or phone number.
Ask us to limit what we use or share. We don't always have to agree, but if you pay for a service in full yourself, we will not share it with your health plan if you ask.
Get a list of certain disclosures we've made in the past six years.
Get a paper copy of this notice at any time.
Have a guardian or someone with power of attorney act for you.
Be told if your information is involved in a breach.

Our duties. We are required to protect your health information, follow this notice, and tell you if it changes. Updated notices will be at the front desk.
