Your protected health information may be used and disclosed by your physician, our office staff and others outside
of our office that are involved in your care and treatment for the purpose of providing health care services to you,
to pay your health care bills, to support the operation of the physician’s practice, and any other use required by
law.
Treatment: We will use and disclose your protected health information to provide, coordinate, or manage you
health care and any related services. This includes the coordination or management of your health care with a
third party. For example, we would disclose you protected health information, as necessary, to a home health

to whom you have been referred to ensure that the physician has the necessary information to diagnose or treat
you.

support the business activities, training of medical students, licensing, and conducting or arranging for other
business activities. For example, we may disclose your protected health information to medical school students
that see patients in our office. In addition, we may use a sign-in sheet at the registration desk where you will be
asked to sign your name and indicate you physician. We may also call you by name in the waiting room when
your physician is ready to see you. We may use or disclose your protected health information, as necessary, to
contact you to remind you of your appointment.
