Patient Privacy Statement

​

We are legally required to safeguard the privacy of your medical information and inform you of our privacy practices, legal duties, and your rights regarding your medical data. This includes your identifiable medical, insurance, demographic, and payment information, such as your diagnosis, medications, insurance details, medical claims history, address, and social security number.
Who Will Follow This Notice?
This Privacy Notice applies to Northern Neurology, its staff, and all associated departments and programs.
Medical Staff
Northern Neurology and its medical staff must share your medical information as necessary for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations as outlined in this notice. Northern Neurology and eligible providers have entered into an Organizational Health Care Arrangement (OHCA) that allows them to:
  • Use this Privacy Notice as a joint notice of privacy practices for inpatient and outpatient visits and follow the described information practices.
  • Obtain a single signed acknowledgment of receipt.
  • Share your medical information to support healthcare operations at the hospital and other providers.
Note that the OHCA does not cover information practices in private offices or other non-affiliated practice locations.
Uses and Disclosures Without Your Authorization
We may use or disclose your medical information without your authorization in certain situations. When state or federal law imposes stricter rules, we will comply with those regulations. Below are common uses and disclosures, though not all-inclusive:
  • Treatment: We may share your medical information with healthcare providers involved in your care, including doctors, nurses, and other professionals at Northern Neurology or elsewhere, such as a nursing facility if you are transferred.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule
The HIPAA Privacy Rule ensures the protection of your medical records and other personal health information (PHI). It sets national standards for safeguarding PHI, applies to health plans, healthcare providers, and clearinghouses, and outlines conditions for the use and disclosure of PHI without your authorization. The Rule also grants individuals rights to access and amend their health records. For more details, visit HHS HIPAA.
The Privacy Rule is codified at 45 CFR Part 160 and Subparts A and E of Part 164. You can view the combined regulation text of all HIPAA Administrative Simplification Regulations at 45 CFR 160, 162, and 164.
