Privacy Policy

The following is a statement of your rights with respect to your medical information.

You have the right to inspect and copy your medical information. This means you may inspect and obtain a copy of medical information about you that has originated in our practice.

Under federal law, however, you may not inspect or copy psychotherapy notes. In some circumstances, you may have a right to have the decision to deny you access reviewed.

You have the right to request a restriction of your medical information.

The practice is not required to agree to your request. If we believe it is in your best interest to permit use and disclosure of your medical information, your medical information will not be restricted.

You have the right to request to receive confidential communications from us at a location other than your primary address.

You may have the right to have our practice amend your medical information. If you feel that medical information we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may request we amend the information.

You have the right to receive an accounting of disclosures we have made, if any, of your medical information. This applies to disclosures for purposes other than treatment, payment or healthcare operations as described in this Notice of Privacy Practices.

Complaints

You may file a complaint with us in writing. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

All written requests concerning the above should be made to:

Cynthia Taylor Handrup, APRN, privacy contact for Handrup & Associates.

Please obtain your unabridged copy of our Privacy Policy at the front desk or ask your physician or therapist. You will be asked to sign a receipt.
