NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
Effective Date: January 12, 2026
Location: Miami-Dade County, Florida
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. Our Legal Duty
We are required by applicable federal (HIPAA) and Florida law to maintain the privacy of your Protected Health Information (PHI). We are also required to give you this Notice about our privacy practices, our legal duties, and your rights concerning your PHI.
2. How We May Use and Disclose Your Information
We may use and disclose your health information for the following purposes:
-
Treatment: To provide, coordinate, or manage your healthcare. For example, we may disclose PHI to a specialist or laboratory to whom you have been referred.
-
Payment: To process your $40 monthly membership fee. This includes sharing limited information with our third-party payment processors (e.g., Stripe, Hint Health) to verify your identity and process transactions.
-
Healthcare Operations: To run our practice, improve your care, and contact you when necessary for administrative purposes.
-
As Required by Law: We will disclose PHI when required to do so by federal, state, or local law (e.g., reporting public health risks or responding to a court order).
3. Communications and Electronic Data
-
Digital Communication: By providing your email or mobile number, you acknowledge that standard email and text messaging may not be fully secure. You consent to receiving appointment reminders and administrative alerts (such as failed payment notifications) via these channels.
-
Florida Law (FIPA): In the event of a breach of your unencrypted personal information, we will notify you in accordance with the Florida Information Protection Act.
4. Your Rights Regarding Your PHI
-
Access: You have the right to look at or get copies of your health information.
-
Accounting of Disclosures: You have the right to a list of instances in which we or our business associates disclosed your PHI for purposes other than treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.
-
Restriction: You have the right to request that we place additional restrictions on our use or disclosure of your PHI. We are not required to agree to these additional restrictions, but if we do, we will abide by our agreement.
-
Amendment: You have the right to request that we amend your health information.
5. Privacy and the Membership Model
-
No Third-Party Insurance Billing: Because we do not bill third-party insurance, we will not disclose your PHI to health insurance companies for the purpose of reimbursement unless you specifically request and authorize us to do so in writing.
-
Payment Failure: In the event of a failed payment leading to membership termination, your clinical records remain protected under HIPAA; however, your active status in our scheduling system will be deactivated immediately.
6. Questions and Complaints
If you are concerned that we may have violated your privacy rights, or you disagree with a decision we made about access to your health information, you may contact our Privacy Officer:
