Privacy & legal
Notice of privacy practices
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed, and how you can get access to it. Please review it carefully.
Concept site. Practice, people, reviews and results are fictional. This page shows the kind of notice a real practice publishes. It isn't legal advice; a practice's compliance officer or lawyer has the final word.
How we use and share your health information
To treat you: for example, sharing X-rays with a specialist we refer you to.
To get paid: for example, sending your insurance company the details it needs to pay a claim.
To run our practice: for example, appointment reminders and quality checks.
We don't sell your health information or use it for marketing without your written permission.
Your rights
You can get a copy of your dental records, ask us to correct them, and ask us to contact you in a certain way (for example, only by mobile phone).
You can ask us to limit what we share, get a list of who we've shared your information with, and get a paper copy of this notice at any time.
If you feel your rights have been violated, you can complain to us or to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. We will never retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
Our responsibilities
We are required by law to keep your health information private and secure, to tell you promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised it, and to follow the notice currently in effect.
A real practice publishes its complete notice here, with its effective date and privacy officer's contact details, and offers a printed copy at the front desk.
