HIPAA Disclosure

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 describes the legal obligations of Preferred Medical Devices, Inc. (PMD) and your legal rights regarding your protected health information held by PMD under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ("HIPAA"). Among other things, this Notice describes how your protected health information may be used or disclosed to carry out treatment, payment, health care operations, or for any other purposes that are permitted or required by law. We are required to provide this Notice of Privacy Practices ("Notice") to you pursuant to HIPAA.

HIPAA protects certain medical information known as "protected health information." Generally, protected health information is information that may identify you, that is collected from you or created or received by a health care provider (or other "covered entity" under HIPAA), that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health or condition; the provision of health care services to you; or the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care services to you.

If you have any questions about this Notice or about our privacy practices, please contact our designated Privacy Officer Greg Otto at PMD 1-866-699-8646.

PMD is required by law to:

maintain the privacy of your protected health information;
provide you with certain rights with respect to your protected health information;
provide you with a copy of this Notice of PMD's legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your protected health information; and
follow the terms of the Notice that is currently in effect.

We reserve the right to change the terms of this Notice and to make new provisions regarding your protected health information that we maintain, as allowed or required by law. If we make any material change to this Notice, we will provide you with a copy of our revised Notice of Privacy Practices by first-class mail to your last-known address on file.

WRITTEN AUTHORIZATION POLICY

We will generally obtain your written authorization before using your protected health information or disclosing it to outside persons or organizations. You may revoke any written authorization you have provided to us at any time, except to the extent that we have made any use(s) or disclosure(s) of your protected health information in reliance on the authorization. To revoke an authorization, please send your request in writing with a copy of the authorization being revoked (or, if not available, a detailed description of the authorization including the date) to our designated Privacy Officer at the address below.
