YOUR RIGHTS

If someone is legally authorized to act for you, that person may exercise your rights and make choices regarding your health information as permitted by law. We may verify that person's authority before taking action.

File a Complaint

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with Aim Spine & Wellness LLC or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

YOUR CHOICES

For certain health information, you may tell us your preferences about what we share, including sharing information with family members, close friends, or others involved in your care, and sharing information in a disaster-relief situation. If you are unable to tell us your preference, we may disclose information when permitted by law and when we determine it is in your best interest. We may also disclose information when necessary to reduce a serious and imminent threat to health or safety as permitted by law.

Marketing and Sale of Information

For certain marketing activities and any sale of protected health information, we will obtain your written authorization when required by law. Aim Spine & Wellness LLC does not sell your protected health information.
