Privacy Policy

Your Information. Your Rights. Our Responsibilities.

Empower Health Services, LLC, is committed to protecting the privacy of your health information. Empower Health Services, LLC has

policies and safeguards in place to protect your information. We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your

protected health information and to provide you with this Notice of Privacy Practices. 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.

How is your health information used?

The confidential health information that we collect as we provide Health and Wellness or Immunization Services is called “Protected Health

Information” or “PHI”. We may use or disclose your PHI for treatment, payment or health care operations. As an example, we may provide

you with your health screening results, or use your PHI to collect payment or verify your insurance. In addition, we would use your PHI for

our health care operations and contact you when necessary; to evaluate and improve the quality or our services, to evaluate provider or

employee performance or to store your records. We routinely use your health information for these purposes without any special

permission. We can only share your PHI with your approval when you sign a valid authorization. You may cancel this authorization at any

time. We do NOT use or disclose your PHI for marketing purposes and we do NOT sell PHI.

How else can we use or share your health information?

We can only share information about you without your authorization if state or federal laws require it or in response to a court or

administrative order, or in response to a subpoena.

Your Rights:

Except in the situations noted above, we will not use or disclose your PHI without your written authorization. You do not have to sign

the authorization and you may revoke your authorization at any time unless we have already acted in reliance upon it. In addition,

you have the following rights regarding the use and disclosure of your PHI:

You may request that we restrict the use or disclosure of your PHI in writing. You can also decide to end a restriction at any
time.
You may request that we amend your records if you think they are incorrect or incomplete. If we agree, we will amend the
record.
If you have paid out of pocket, in full, for your screening or immunization, you may request that we restrict certain PHI from
disclosure to health plans.
You may ask to review your PHI by a written request. We may charge a fee for copying and required payment in advance.
You may receive an accounting of the disclosures we have made of your PHI, other than those for treatment, payment, or
health care operations, disclosures required by law, or disclosures for which we have your authorization.
If a breach of your unsecured PHI occurs, you will receive a written notification of the details of the breach at the address we
have in your information on file.

To contact us in the future.

If you wish to obtain or see a copy of your PHI, see an accounting of any disclosures we have made or ask to amend your PHI, or

revoke your authorization, please contact Empower Health Services, LLC at 18663676974 for assistance on how to make the

have additional information, please contact Empower Health Services, LLC at 18663676974. You can file a complaint with the U.S.
