WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE YOUR PHI IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
The following categories describe the different ways in which we may use and disclose your PHI, unless you object:
1. Treatment. Our Practice may use your PHI in the course of your treatment. For example, we may ask you to have laboratory tests (such as blood or urine tests), and we may use the results to help us reach a diagnosis. We might use your PHI to write a prescription for you, or we might disclose your PHI to a pharmacy when we order a prescription for you. Our staff may use or disclose your PHI to treat you or to assist others in your treatment. Additionally, we may disclose your PHI to others who may assist in your care, such as other healthcare providers, your spouse, your children, or your parents.
2. Payment. Our Practice may use and disclose your PHI to bill and collect payment for the services and products you may receive from us. We do not participate or bill insurance, so we do not disclose your information for the purpose of being reimbursed by insurance. However, we may use and disclose your PHI to obtain payment from those who may be responsible for such costs, such as family members.
3. Health Care Operations. The Practice may use and disclose your PHI to operate our business. For example, we may use and disclose your information for our operations, our Practice may use your PHI to evaluate the quality of care you received from us, to develop protocols and clinical guidelines, to develop training programs, or to aid in credentialing and medical review.
4. Appointment Reminders. The Practice may use and disclose your PHI to contact you and remind you of an appointment.
5. Release of Information to Family/Friends. The Practice may release your PHI when necessary, to a friend or family member involved in your care. For example, a parent or guardian may ask that a babysitter take their child to the pediatrician’s office for treatment of a cold. In this example, the babysitter may have access to this child’s medical information.
6. Disclosures Required by Law. The Practice will use and disclose your PHI when we are required to do so by federal, state, or local law or regulation.

2. Lawsuits and Similar Proceedings. The Practice may use and disclose your PHI in response to a court or administrative order if you are involved in a lawsuit or similar proceedings. We also may disclose your PHI in response to a discovery request, subpoena, or other lawful process, by another party involved in the dispute. But we shall only disclose PHI after we have made an effort to inform you of the request or to obtain an order protecting the information the party has requested.

a. accurate and complete;
b. not part of the PHI kept by or for the Practice;

These logs may contain the Internet domain from which you access the site (such as aol.com, abc.org, etc.); the IP address which is automatically assigned to your computer when you get on the Internet (a static IP address may be identifiable as being connected to you, while a dynamic address is usually not identifiable); the type of browser and operating system you use; the date and time you visited the site; the pages you viewed on the site; the address of the website you linked from, if any.

2. Internet cookies
We may place Internet “cookies” on the computer hard drives of visitors to this Service site. Information we obtain from cookies helps us to tailor our site to be more helpful and efficient for you. The cookie consists of a unique identifier that does not contain information about you or your health history. We use two types of cookies, “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies.
A session cookie is temporary, and expires after you end a session and close your web browser. We use session cookies to help customize your experience on our site, maintain your signed-on status as you navigate through our features, and to track your “click path” through our web pages.
Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive after you’ve exited from our site, and we use them for several reasons. For instance, when you give us permission to “remember” a feature about you when asked by the web site, such as your nearest Doc And Me Health facility, we place a persistent cookie on your hard drive so that the next time you visit us, we won’t have to ask you that information again. If you’ve given us permission to e-mail you with information about your Doc And Me Health services, or for other reasons, we may place a persistent cookie on your hard drive that will let us know when you come back to visit our site. Persistent cookies will not contain any personal information about you such as a Doc And Me Health medical Record number.

For instructions on how to remove cookies from your hard drive, go to your browser’s help file for detailed instructions and browser updates available from the browser licensor. In addition, further information regarding cookies may be available on other websites or from your Internet service provider. Netscape and Internet Explorer are two common browsers.
3. E-mails
We may use a third-party vendor to help us manage some of our e-mail communications with you. While we may supply this vendor with e-mail addresses of those we wish them to contact, your e-mail address is never used for any purpose other than to communicate with you on our behalf. When you click on a link in an e-mail, you may temporarily be redirected through one of the vendor’s servers (although this process will be invisible to you) which will register that you’ve clicked on that link, and have visited our Service site. Doc And Me Health never shares any information, other than your e-mail address, with our third-party e-mail vendor, which does not share these e-mail addresses with anyone else.

We may periodically ask users to complete surveys asking about their experiences with features of the Web site.

We use survey information for research and quality improvement purposes, including helping Doc And Me Health to improve information and services offered through this Service. In addition, users giving feedback may be individually contacted for follow-up due to concerns raised during the course of such evaluation. Demographic information and web log data may be stored for future research and evaluation.
5. Messages and transactions
Comments or questions sent to us using e-mail or secure messaging forms will be shared with Doc And Me Health staff and health care professionals who are most able to address your concerns. We will archive your messages once we have made our best effort to provide you with a complete and satisfactory response. However, they will not become part of your medical record or a designated record set unless and until you are seen and examined in person by a Doc And Me Health healthcare professional.
