Arlington ER is committed to protecting the privacy of your health information. Federal law requires us to maintain the privacy of that information, to give you this Notice explaining our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect.
This Notice applies to all records of your care created or held at our facility at 1607 S Bowen Rd, Pantego, TX 76013.
We maintain electronic health records and may transmit your protected health information electronically to other healthcare providers, laboratories, insurance companies, and other entities as described in this Notice.
We may change this Notice at any time. Any revised Notice will apply to information we already hold as well as information we receive in future. The current version is always available at our facility and on this website.
Protected Health Information, or PHI, is any information that identifies you and relates to your health condition, your treatment, or payment for your care. It includes your medical history, examination findings, imaging and laboratory results, diagnoses, treatment plans, and billing records.
We share relevant information with the physicians, nurses, technicians, and other clinical staff involved in your care. When your condition requires specialized care or admission, we coordinate with hospitals, specialists, and transferring services so that your care continues without interruption.
We use your information to bill for the services you receive and to work with your health plan to resolve coverage and billing questions. This may include sharing information with your insurer to confirm eligibility or to obtain payment.
Your records support quality improvement, clinical review, staff training, audits, licensing, and accreditation activities that help us run the facility and improve the care we provide.
Federal and state law permit or require us to disclose your health information without your authorization in the following circumstances:
Any use or disclosure not described in this Notice will be made only with your written authorization. You may revoke that authorization at any time by written request, except where we have already acted in reliance on it.
Written authorization is always required for psychotherapy notes, for marketing communications for which we receive payment, and for any sale of your health information.
Arlington ER is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information, to give you notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect, and to notify you promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.
We will not use or share your information other than as described in this Notice unless you tell us in writing that we may.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with us using the contact details below, or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights.
