HIPAA Privacy Practices Notice

On April 14, 2003, a federal law called the “Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) took effect.  This law governs how health care providers may use and disclose your medical information, and how you can access your own information.  HIPAA requires that we notify you of our policy to protect the privacy of your medical information.

This notice of privacy practices applies to staff members at Synergistic Cannabis Consulting, LLC. who might handle sensitive health information. Your personal health information, to include any health information furnished or discussed with us, will be kept in a secure location and will be released to others only when you furnish written consent specifically allowing open sharing. 

Your rights regarding your own medical information:  You may request access to review your own medical information at any time, although charges may incur for copies that require administrative support.  In accordance with Oklahoma state and federal laws, we will not release “specially protected information” regarding HIV testing, mental health counseling, or drug and alcohol dependence treatment records without your specific additional consent.

If at any time, you are concerned that we have compromised your medical information privacy, I invite you to discuss your concerns with me directly.  Should we be unable to work together to resolve your concerns, you may contact the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services in Washington, DC.  Your privacy is one of our greatest concerns, and we are committed to the security of your sensitive medical information.
