HIPAA Compliance and Protected Health Information (PHI)

 

When you use our telehealth, forms, or provider referral services, we collect health-related information needed for care. This information is considered PHI and is protected under HIPAA.

We:

 

  • Use HIPAA-compliant third-party tools for telehealth, scheduling, and forms.

  • Limit access to PHI to authorized staff only.

  • Store PHI securely with encryption and access controls.

  • Do not share PHI without your written authorization, unless required by law (e.g., public health reporting, court orders).

 

 

Who We Share Your Data With

 

If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal data or PHI. PHI may only be disclosed as required by HIPAA or other legal obligations.

 

 

How Long We Retain Your Data

 

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.

For registered users, we store personal information provided in their profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also access and edit that information.

Health records and PHI are retained according to state and federal medical recordkeeping laws.

 

 

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

 

If you have an account on this site or left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold, including any data provided to us. You can also request that we erase personal data we hold. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, security, or healthcare purposes.

For PHI, you have the right under HIPAA to:

 

  • Access your medical records.

  • Request corrections.

  • Request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures.

  • Receive an accounting of disclosures.

  • File a complaint if you believe your privacy rights were violated.

 

 

Where Your Data Is Sent

 

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Health-related submissions, telehealth sessions, and provider referrals are routed through HIPAA-compliant platforms to protect confidentiality.
