PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

OUR POLICY ON MEDICAL RECORD PRIVACY

This Notice will describe the way our health plan will treat medical records we keep regarding your medical care. We are required to keep records for each of our enrollees of the services you receive, payment for those services, and other information. We are required by law to protect your personal medical record by keeping it private and following certain rules that dictate whether and when we can use or disclose your information.

This notice will inform you of the ways we may use and disclose your health information. It will also notify you of your rights and our obligations in our use and disclosure of your health information.

The law requires us to keep your health information private. We are also required give you this notice and to follow the terms of the notice that is currently in effect. We reserve the right to change this notice and apply those changes to health information we currently have, as well as information we may receive in the future. If we change this notice, you will receive a new copy of this notice within 60 days after the change is made.

HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR HEALTH INFORMATION

We may use and disclose your health information for a number of purposes in connection with payment for your medical care and in running our health plan. The following lists a number of typical uses and disclosures within our health plan, with explanations to help you understand your rights. You will not be asked to separately authorize us to do these things.

1. Payment - We may use and disclose your health information to health-care providers who treat you for purposes of determining whether and to what extent we are required to pay for health-care services you receive. We may also use or disclose your health information to other health plans, insurance companies, HMOs, or other third parties in order to coordinate benefits or enforce any subrogation rights we may have. For example, we may receive information regarding your diagnosis and treatment in order to pay for your office visits, procedures, x-rays, or laboratory work. We may also provide information to health-care providers to assist them in determining whether we pay for the medical care you are receiving and whether they need to get authorization from us before treating you.
2. Operation Functions - We may use and disclose your health information in the process of running our health plan practice. For example, we may use or disclose your information if we conduct activities to ensure that our enrollees receive quality health coverage. We may also use or disclose your information in training and evaluation of our staff or as part of a review, audit, or legal activities.
3. Disclosure to the Plan Sponsor - We may disclose your health information to your employer to permit your employer to administer the health plan. For example, we may provide health information to your employer to assist it in processing claims, to audit the plan, or to assist in large case management. Your employer may not use your health information it receives from us for employment-related purposes or other benefit plans it maintains. Before we may disclose health information to your employer, we are required to obtain from your employer a written certification that it will use your information only for permitted purposes. Your employer is also required to designate in the plan document for the health plan which of its employees may have access to your health information and to take steps to ensure that access is limited to those employees. We may also provide your employer with summary health information, which has been modified to eliminate personally identifiable information.
4. Treatment Alternatives - We may use and disclose health information to tell you about or recommend treatment alternatives or health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.
5. Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment for Your Care - We may disclose your health information to a family member or friend who is involved in your medical care or who helps pay for your care. We may discuss payment of a claim for benefits with your family or friends, for example, if you are unable to.
6. Required by Law - We will disclose your health information when we are required to do so by federal, state, or local law.
7. Public Health Risks - We may disclose your health information for public health activities, such as reporting disease, injury, or disability; births and deaths; child abuse or neglect; defects, recalls, or problems with drugs, medical devices, or other products; or to prevent or control disease, injury, or disability; and to limit exposure to or risk for diseases or conditions. We may also notify authorities if we believe you have been the victim of abuse, neglect, or domestic violence, if we are required by law to do so, or if you agree to the notification.
8. Health Oversight Activities - We may disclose health information to a health oversight agency authorized by law for audits, investigations, inspections, and licensure. Health oversight agencies generally oversee the health-care system, government health programs (such as Medicare and Medicaid), and the enforcement of civil rights laws.
9. Judicial and Administrative Proceedings - We may disclose your health information in response to a court order or administrative order. We may also disclose your health information to respond to a subpoena, discovery request, or other request that is not issued by a judge or administrator, but only if efforts have been made to inform you of the request or to get a protective order for the information.
10. Law Enforcement - We may release health information if asked to do so by a law enforcement official under the following circumstances:
    • If you have incurred certain injuries or wounds that are legally required to be reported;
    • In response to a court order, subpoena, warrant, summons, investigative demand, or similar process;

    • About the victim of a crime if under certain limited circumstances;
    • About a suspicious death that we believe may be the result of criminal conduct;
    • About criminal conduct on our premises; and
    • In emergency circumstances to report a crime, its location, or information about the person who may have committed the crime.
11. Coroners, Medical Examiners, and Funeral Directors - We may disclose your health information to a coroner or medical examiner. This may be necessary, for example, to identify or determine the cause of death of a deceased person, or as otherwise required by law.
