The law protects the privacy of the health information you give us when we provide care and services to you. For example, your medical record may include your symptoms, test results, conditions, treatment and insurance information.

Federal and state law allows us to use and share your health information for treatment and health care reasons without your approval. State law requires us to get your approval to give this information to your insurance company so they can pay your bill. We will not give out your health information to others unless you tell us to do so, or unless required by law. For more information, view our Notice of Privacy Practices.
