| Notice of Privacy Practices |
As required by the privacy regulations created as a result of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of
1996 (HIPAA).
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU (AS A PATIENT OF THIS
PRACTICE) MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED, AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO YOUR
INDIVIDUALLY IDENTIFIABLE HEALTH INFORMATION.
PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
We understand that medical information about you and your health is personal. Valley Health is dedicated to maintaining
the privacy of your individually identifiable health information (also called protected health information, or PHI). We create
a record of the care and services you receive in our facilities. We need this record to provide you with quality care and to
comply with certain legal requirements. This notice will tell you about the ways in which we may use and disclose medical
information about you, via any medium (written, oral, or electronic). We also describe your rights and certain obligations
we have regarding the use and disclosure of medical information.
Valley Health is required by law to:
Maintain the confidentiality of health information that identifies you.
Provide you with this notice of our legal duties and the privacy with respect to your PHI.
Follow the terms of the Notice of Privacy Practices that is currently in effect.
The terms of this notice apply to all records containing your PHI that are created or retained by Valley Health. We reserve
the right to revise or amend this Notice of Privacy Practices. Any revision or amendment to this notice will be effective for
all of your records that Valley Health has created or maintained in the past, and for any of your records that we may create
or maintain in the future. Valley Health will post a copy of our current Notice in our offices in a visible location at all times,
and you may request a copy of our most current Notice at any time.
HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
The following categories describe the different ways in which Valley Health may use and disclose your PHI. For each
category of uses or disclosures we will explain what we mean and try to give some examples. Not every use or disclosure
in a category will be listed. However, all the ways Valley Health is permitted to use and disclose information will fall within
one of the categories.
Treatment. Valley Health may use your PHI to treat you. For example, we may ask you to have laboratory tests (such
as blood or urine tests), and we may use the results to help us reach a diagnosis. We might use your PHI in order to write
a prescription for you, or we might disclose your PHI to a pharmacy when we order a prescription for you. Many of the
people who work for Valley Health – including, but not limited to, our doctors and nurses – may use or disclose your PHI
in order to treat you or to assist others in your treatment. Additionally, we may disclose your PHI to others who may assist
in your care, such as your spouse, children or parents. Finally, we may also disclose your PHI to other health care
providers for purposes related to your treatment.
Payment. Valley Health may use and disclose your PHI in order to bill and collect payment for the services and items
you may receive from us. For example, we may contact your health insurer to certify that you are eligible for benefits (and
for what range of benefits), and we may provide your insurer with details regarding your treatment to determine if your
insurer will cover, or pay for, your treatment. We also may use and disclose your PHI to obtain payment from third parties
that may be responsible for such costs, such as family members. Also, we may use your PHI to bill you directly for
services and items. We may disclose your PHI to other health care providers and entities to assist in their billing and
collection efforts.
Health Care Operations. Valley Health may use and disclose your PHI to operate our business. As examples of the
ways in which we may use and disclose your information for our operations, Valley Health may use your PHI to evaluate
the quality of care you received from us, or to conduct cost-management and business planning activities for our practice.
We may disclose your PHI to other health care providers and entities to assist in their health care operations.
Appointment Reminders. Valley Health may use and disclose your PHI to contact you and remind you of an
appointment.
Treatment Alternatives. Valley Health may use and disclose your PHI to inform you of potential treatment options or
alternatives that may be important to you.
Health-Related Benefits and Services. Valley Health may use and disclose your PHI to inform you of health-
related benefits or services that may be of interest to you.
Release of Information to Family/Friends. Valley Health may release your PHI to a friend or family member that is
involved in your care, or who assists in taking care of you. For example, a parent or guardian may ask that a baby sitter
take their child to the pediatrician’s office for treatment of a cold. In this example, the baby sitter may have access to this
child’s medical information.
Disclosures Required by Law. Valley Health will use and disclose your PHI when we are required to do so by
federal, state or local law.
USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PHI IN CERTAIN SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES

individuals, and/or (3) for the safety and security of the institution.
YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU.
You have the following rights regarding the PHI that we maintain about you:
1. Confidential Communications. You have the right to request that Valley Health communicate with you about your
health and related issues in a particular manner or at a certain location. For instance, you may ask that we contact you at
home, rather than work. In order to request a type of confidential communication, you must make a written request to the
attention of the Office Supervisor at the specific Valley Health Facility at which you receive treatment. You do not need to
give a reason for your request. Your request must specify the method of contact, or the location where you wish to be
contacted. While we are not required to agree to your request, Valley Health will accommodate all reasonable requests.
2. Requesting Restrictions. You have the right to request a restriction in our use or disclosure of your PHI for
treatment, payment or health care operations. Additionally, you have the right to request that we restrict our disclosure of
your PHI to only certain individuals involved in your care or the payment for your care, such as family members and
friends. We are not required to agree to your request; however, if we do agree, we are bound by our agreement except
when otherwise required by law, in emergencies or when the information is necessary to treat you. In order to request a
restriction in our use or disclosure of your PHI, you must make your request in writing to the attention of the Office
Supervisor at the specific Valley Health Facility at which you receive treatment. Your request must describe in a clear and
concise fashion:
• The information you wish restricted,
• Whether you are requesting to limit Valley Health’s use, disclosure or both,
• To whom you want the limits to apply.
3. Inspection and Copies. You have the right to inspect and obtain a copy of the PHI that may be used to make
decisions about you, including patient medical records and billing records, but not including psychotherapy notes. You
must submit your request in writing to the attention of the Office Supervisor at the specific Valley Health Facility at which
you receive treatment in order to inspect and/or obtain a copy of your PHI. Valley Health may charge a fee for the costs of
copying, mailing, labor and supplies associated with your request. Valley Health may deny your request to inspect and/or
copy in certain limited circumstances; however, you may request a review of our denial. Another licensed health care
professional chosen by us will conduct reviews.
4. Amendment. You may ask us to amend your health information if you believe it is incorrect or incomplete, and you
may request an amendment for as long as the information is kept by or for Valley Health. To request an amendment, your
request must be made in writing and submitted to the attention of the Office Supervisor at the specific Valley Health
Facility at which you receive treatment. You must provide us with a reason that supports your request for amendment.
Valley Health will deny your request if you fail to submit your request (and the reason supporting your request) in writing.
Also, we may deny your request if you ask us to amend information that is in our opinion: (a) accurate and complete; (b)
not part of the PHI kept by or for the practice; (c) not part of the PHI which you would be permitted to inspect and copy;
or (d) not created by Valley Health, unless the individual or entity that created the information is not available to amend the
information.
5. Accounting of Disclosures. All of our patients have the right to request an “accounting of disclosures.” An “accounting
of disclosures” is a list of certain non-routine disclosures Valley Health has made of your PHI for purposes not related to
treatment, payment or operations. Use of your PHI as part of the routine patient care in our practice is not required to be
documented – for example, the doctor sharing information with the nurse; or the billing department using your information
to file your insurance claim. In order to obtain an accounting of disclosures, you must submit your request in writing to the
attention of the Office Supervisor at the specific Valley Health Facility at which you receive treatment. All requests for an
“accounting of disclosures” must state a time period, which may not be longer than six (6) years from the date of disclosure
and may not include dates before April 14, 2003. The first list you request within a 12-month period is free of charge, but
Valley Health may charge you for additional lists within the same 12-month period. Valley Health will notify you of the
costs involved with additional requests, and you may withdraw your request before you incur any costs.
