Provide you with this Notice upon

outlined in this
Notice.
Notify you if any
breach compromises your
PHI.
This Notice outlines your rights and our duties under the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
How We Use or Share Your Health Information
We may use or disclose your PHI for the following purposes:
Treatment
We share your information with your referring doctors and other authorized professionals involved
in your care. This helps them review imaging results and provide accurate diagnoses. We may also
contact you with appointment reminders or updates about services relevant to your care.
Payment
We use and share your PHI to bill health plans or other payers. This includes verifying your
insurance coverage and submitting claims. If someone else pays for your care (e.g., a parent or
spouse), we may share information with them for billing purposes.
Healthcare Operations
We use your PHI to manage internal processes like quality checks, compliance reviews, legal
services, and audits.
Business Associates
We may share your PHI with third-party service providers (like billing firms, storage vendors, or
courier partners) who help us deliver services. These partners are bound by law to protect your
PHI.
People Involved in Your Care
If you agree—or if it seems appropriate—we may share relevant information with a family member,
caregiver, or friend helping with your care or payment.
We may disclose your PHI if required by law, including:
- Public health reporting
- Law enforcement requests
- Court orders or subpoenas
- Threat prevention or emergency response
- Health oversight or compliance audits
Research
We may share limited health information with researchers if they meet legal privacy
requirements and sign a data use agreement.
Other Permitted Disclosures
As allowed by HIPAA, we may share PHI with:
- Social service or public health agencies
- Regulatory bodies (FDA, health departments)
- Organ and tissue donor programs
- Military and national security authorities
- Workers' compensation programs
- Medical examiners, coroners, and funeral directors
Incidental Disclosures
Some minimal exposure of your PHI may occur during routine operations (e.g., calling
your name in the waiting area). We take care to minimize such disclosures.
More Protective State Laws
If state laws are stricter than federal regulations, we follow the stricter rules.
