Westwood Physical Therapy’s Legal Duty

Westwood Physical Therapy is required by law to protect the privacy of your personal health information, to provide this notice about our information practices, and to follow the information practices that are described herein.

Uses and Disclosures of Health Information

Westwood Physical Therapy uses your personal health information primarily for treatment, obtaining payment for treatment, conducting internal administrative activities, and evaluating the quality of care that we provide.  For example, we may use your personal health information to contact you to provide appointment reminders, or information about treatment alternatives or health-related benefits that could be of interest to you.

Westwood Physical Therapy may also disclose your personal health information without prior authorization for public health purposes, auditing purposes, research studies, and for emergencies.  We also provide information when required by law.

In any other situation, Westwood Physical Therapy’s policy is to obtain written authorization before disclosing your personal health information.  If you provide us with a written authorization to release your information for any reason, you may later revoke that authorization to stop future disclosures at any time.

Patient’s Individual Rights

You have the right to review or obtain a copy of your personal health information at any time. You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information in your records. You also have the right to request a list of instances where we have disclosed your personal health information for reasons other than treatment, payment or other related administrative purposes.

You may also request in writing that we not use or disclose your personal health information for treatment, payment and administrative purposes except when specifically authorized by you, when required by law or in emergency circumstances. Westwood Physical Therapy will consider all such requests on a case by case basis, but the practice is not legally required to accept them.
