CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION
Federal and state laws protect your confidential information. We prioritize respecting confidentiality and will use and disclose your health information for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations, as outlined in our Notice of Privacy Practices. This includes the necessary sharing of your health information to ensure the treatment and services you receive at the agency may be approved and paid for by third parties, such as insurance companies. Information on alcohol and drug use is protected by 42 CFR Part 2 and requires your written permission for release, except as specified by regulation.
Under certain legal circumstances, information about you or your family may be released without your permission, including mandated reporting of abuse, neglect, or exploitation; if there is a credible threat to yourself, others, or public safety; compliance with legal orders; or as required by law.
