Your Choices.

You have some choices in the way that we use and share information as we:

  • Provide mental health care
  • Market our services and sell your information
  • Raise funds. We may contact you for fundraising efforts, but you can tell us not to contact you again.

If you are not able to tell us your preference, for example if you are unconscious, we may go ahead and share your information if we believe it is in your best interest. We may also share your information when needed to lessen a serious and imminent threat to health or safety.

In these cases, we never share your information unless you give us written permission:

Our Uses and Disclosures.

How do we typically use or share your health information? We typically use or share your health information in the following ways.

    We can use your health information and share it with other professionals, often those under contract with us, who are treating you. Example: A psychologist treating you for mental health may ask another provider about your overall health condition.

  2. Running our organization
    We can use and share your health information to run our practice, improve your care, and contact you when necessary. Example: We use health information about you to manage your treatment and services.

  3. Billing for your services

Example: We give information to you about your care you may send to your health insurance plan so it will pay for or reimburse you for our services.
