Privacy Notice

This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this information.  Please read it carefully.  Coor Wellness believes your right to privacy is a fundamental part of your treatment and we want you to understand our privacy practices and procedures. 

Information We Collect About You

Coor Wellness collects personal information about you and your family as part of our registration process, during the course of your care, and from other health care entities you use such as hospitals, laboratories, other physicians, imaging facilities and your insurance company.  This personal information includes your name, address, phone number, birth date, social security number, employer, health history, insurance policy and coverage information and any information you provide via our intake process.  We may collect health information regarding diagnosis, treatment plans, progress, and any test results.

How Your Information Is Used

The personal and health information gathered may be used and disclosed with your general consent for purposes of treatment, payment, or routine healthcare operations.  This means we may send your information to other physicians or facilities involved in your treatment as well as to your insurance company or to a collection agency to obtain payment.  Any other uses of your information require a signed authorization by you, the patient, (or guardian), and can be revoked at any time with written request.  Coor Wellness does not sell patient information to marketing or pharmaceutical companies.  In certain cases of public interest we may be required to disclose certain information to local, state or national health organizations or government agencies.

Safeguarding Your Personal and Health Information

We are required by law to ensure that medical information that identifies you is kept private, provide you with our privacy policy, and follow the terms laid out in the privacy policy.  As a means of protecting your privacy we restrict access to your personal and health information to only those employees who require the information to complete their jobs and provide quality service to you.  Coor Wellness maintains physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to comply with state and federal regulations that guard your personal and health information.  If you feel your privacy has been violated you have the right to file a complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services.  Any complaint does not influence your course of treatment at Coor Wellness.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

All new patients will receive a copy of our privacy policy.  Coor Wellness occasionally reviews its privacy policy and reserves the right to amend it.

Your Right to Restrict Use of Information

You have the right to request restrictions to our uses or disclosures of your personal or health information, although we are not required to agree to those restrictions.  Once your request has been processed it will remain in effect until you request a change.
