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.

At Breach Candy Hospital Trust, we believe your health information is personal. We keep records of the care and services that you receive at our facilities. We are committed to keeping your health information private and we are required by law to respect your confidentiality.

This Notice describes the privacy practices of Breach Candy Hospital Trust. This Notice applies to all of the health information that identifies you and the care you receive at BCH facilities. This information may consist of paper, digital or electronic records but could also include photographs, videos and other electronic transmissions or recordings that are created during your care and treatment. We are legally required to keep your health information private, to notify you of our legal responsibilities and privacy practices that relate to your health information and to notify you if there is a breach of your unsecured health information. We are also legally required to give you this Notice and to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect.

All of our employed physicians, consultants, facilities, home care programs, other services follow the terms of this Notice. The doctors and other caregivers at BCH who are not employed by BCH exchange information about you as a patient with BCH employees.

When you become a patient of BCH, we will use your health information within BCH and disclose your health information outside BCH for the reasons described in this Notice. The following categories describe some of the ways that we will use and disclose your health information.

We may use and disclose your health information so that the health care you receive can be billed and paid for by you, your insurance company, or another third party. For example, we may give information about surgery you had here to your Insurance Company so it will pay us or reimburse you for the surgery. We may also tell your Insurance Company about a treatment you are going to receive, so we can get prior payment approval or learn if your plan will pay for the treatment.

We may use your health information and disclose it outside BCH for our health care operations. These uses and disclosures help us operate BCH to maintain and improve patient care. For example, we may use your health information to review the care you received and to evaluate the performance of our staff in caring for you. We also may combine health information about many patients to identify new services to offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain therapies are effective. We may also disclose information to doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students and other persons at BCH for learning and quality improvement purposes. We may remove information that identifies you so people outside BCH can study your health data without knowing who you are.

We may use and disclose health information to reach you about appointments and other matters. We may contact you by telephone or email.

We may use and disclose health information about you to send you mailings about health-related products and services available at BCH.

We will disclose health information about you outside BCH when required to do so by local law or by the court process. We may disclose health information about you for public health reasons like reporting births, deaths, reactions to medications or problems with medical products. We may release health information to help control the spread of disease or to notify a person whose health or safety may be threatened. We may disclose health information to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law such as for audits, investigations, inspections, and licensure.

As described above, we will use your health information and disclose it outside BCH for treatment, payment, health care operations, and when required or permitted by law. We will not use or disclose your health information for other reasons without your written authorization. For example, most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes, uses and disclosures of health information for certain marketing purposes, and disclosures that constitute a sale of health information require your written authorization. These kinds of uses and disclosures of your health information will be made only with your written authorization. You may revoke the authorization in writing at any time, but we cannot take back any uses or disclosures of your health information already made with your authorization.

BCH may change this Notice at any time. Any change in the Notice could apply to medical information we already have about you as well as any information we receive in the future.

NOTICE: If you send health information to Breach Candy Hospital Trust via email, please know that your message may be sent in an unencrypted email. An unencrypted email means there is a risk that the information in the email and any attachments could potentially be read by a third party when it is sent through the internet.
