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

1. Who We Are

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

This Notice of Privacy Practices ("Notice") describes the privacy practices of Reta1, LLC and its affiliates, including certain affiliated professional entities, their physicians, health care practitioners, and other personnel ("we" or "us").

2. Our Privacy Obligations

We are required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information ("Protected Health Information" or "PHI") and to provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your PHI. We are also obligated to notify you following a breach of unsecured PHI. When we use or disclose your PHI, we are required to abide by the terms of this Notice (or other notice in effect at the time of the use or disclosure).

3. Permissible Uses and Disclosures Without Your Written Authorization

In certain situations, we must obtain your written authorization in order to use and/or disclose your PHI. We do not need any type of authorization, however, for the following uses and disclosures:

Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations

We may use and disclose your PHI in order to treat you, obtain payment for services provided to you, and conduct our healthcare operations, which include internal administration, planning, and various activities that improve the quality and cost effectiveness of the care that we deliver to you.

Relatives, Close Friends and Other Caregivers

We may use or disclose your PHI to a family member, other relative, close personal friend, or any other person identified by you if we obtain your agreement, provide you with the opportunity to object and you do not object, or reasonably infer that you do not object. If you are not present or unable to agree or object due to incapacity or emergency, we may exercise our professional judgment to determine whether a disclosure is in your best interests.

We may also disclose your PHI without your written authorization for the following purposes, as permitted by law:

  • Public health activities, such as reporting to public health authorities to prevent or control disease, injury, or disability.
  • Reporting to appropriate authorities when we reasonably believe you may be a victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence.
  • Health oversight activities by an agency that oversees the healthcare system.
  • Judicial and administrative proceedings, in response to a legal order or other lawful process.
  • Law enforcement purposes, as required or permitted by law or in compliance with a court order or subpoena.
  • Disclosures to a coroner, medical examiner, or funeral director as authorized by law.
  • Research, where an Institutional Review Board or Privacy Board approves a waiver of authorization.
  • To prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to a person's or the public's health or safety.
  • Specialized government functions, such as military and national security activities.
  • Workers' compensation, as authorized by and to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.
  • As otherwise required by law.

4. Uses and Disclosures Requiring Your Written Authorization

Use or Disclosure with Your Authorization

We must obtain your written authorization for uses and disclosures of PHI for marketing purposes and disclosures that constitute the sale of PHI. Additionally, other uses and disclosures not described in this Notice will be made only when you give us your written permission on an authorization form ("Your Authorization").

Highly Confidential Information

Federal and state law require special privacy protections for certain highly confidential information ("Highly Confidential Information"), which may include information about mental health, alcohol and drug abuse treatment, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted disease, genetic testing, child abuse and neglect, domestic abuse, or sexual assault. In order for us to disclose your Highly Confidential Information for a purpose other than those permitted by law, we must have Your Authorization.

Revocation of Your Authorization

You may withdraw (revoke) your Authorization, except to the extent that we have acted in reliance upon it, by delivering a written statement to our Privacy Officer.

  • Right to Request Additional Restrictions. You have the right to request a restriction on the uses and disclosures of your PHI. We are not always required to agree to your request, but will attempt to accommodate reasonable requests where appropriate.
  • Right to Receive Confidential Communications. You may request, and we will accommodate, any reasonable written request to receive your PHI by alternative means or at alternative locations.
