Your Health Information Rights

You have certain rights concerning the health information Honor maintains about you. Some rights may be limited in specific circumstances allowed by law.

Obtain a Copy of Your Records

You may ask to inspect or receive an electronic or paper copy of your medical and billing records and other health information maintained by Honor.

We will generally provide the information within the period required by law. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for copying, supplies or mailing when permitted.

In limited circumstances, we may deny access to certain information. If access is denied, we will explain the reason and tell you whether the decision may be reviewed.

Request a Correction

You may ask us to correct health information that you believe is inaccurate or incomplete.

We may deny the request in certain circumstances, but we will provide a written explanation within the period required by law. You may have the right to submit a written disagreement.

Request Confidential Communications

You may ask us to contact you in a particular way or at a particular location. For example, you may request that we call a specific telephone number or send mail to a different address.

We will accommodate reasonable requests.

Request Restrictions

You may ask us to limit how we use or disclose health information for treatment, payment or healthcare operations. We are not always required to agree, but we will consider the request.

If you pay in full out of pocket for a service, you may ask us not to disclose information about that service to your health plan for payment or healthcare operations. We will honor that request unless disclosure is required by law.

If we agree to a restriction, we may still disclose information when necessary to provide emergency treatment or when otherwise permitted or required by law.

Receive an Accounting of Certain Disclosures

You may ask for a list of certain disclosures of your health information made during the six years before your request.

The accounting will not include every disclosure. For example, it generally will not include disclosures for treatment, payment or healthcare operations, disclosures you authorized, or certain disclosures permitted by law.

One accounting during a 12-month period will be provided without charge. We may charge a reasonable fee for additional requests during the same period after notifying you in advance.

When required by applicable law, additional accounting rights may apply to electronic substance use disorder records and records disclosed through certain health information organizations.

Receive a Copy of This Notice

You may request a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you previously agreed to receive it electronically.

This notice is also available on Honor’s website.

Choose a Personal Representative

If another person has legal authority to act on your behalf, such as a legal guardian or an individual holding an applicable healthcare power of attorney, that person may exercise your privacy rights.

Honor will verify the person’s authority before allowing access or taking action.

File a Privacy Complaint

You may file a complaint if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

You may complain directly to Honor using the Privacy Officer contact information above. You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights:

Honor will not retaliate against you for making a complaint or exercising a privacy right.

Your Choices About Sharing Information

In certain situations, you may tell us whether and how your information may be shared.

Family Members and Others Involved in Your Care

You may authorize us to share relevant information with family members, close friends or others involved in your care or payment for your care.

If you are unable to express a preference, we may share limited information when permitted by law and when we reasonably believe doing so is in your best interest.

Additional restrictions may apply to substance use disorder treatment records protected by 42 CFR Part 2.

Disaster Relief and Serious Safety Concerns

We may share limited information with an authorized disaster-relief organization when legally permitted.

We may also disclose information when necessary to prevent or reduce a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of you or another person, subject to applicable law.

Marketing and Sale of Information

Honor will obtain written authorization before using or disclosing protected health information for marketing when authorization is required.

Honor will not sell protected health information without written authorization.

Psychotherapy Notes

Most uses and disclosures of separately maintained psychotherapy notes require written authorization, except in limited situations permitted by law.

Fundraising

If Honor contacts you for fundraising purposes using information permitted by law, you may ask us not to contact you again.

If substance use disorder patient records protected by Part 2 would be involved, Honor will provide advance notice and an opportunity to choose whether to receive the communication.

How We May Use and Disclose Health Information

The following sections describe common situations in which Honor may use or disclose health information. Not every possible use or disclosure is listed.

Additional protections apply when the information is contained in a substance use disorder patient record protected by 42 CFR Part 2.

Treatment

We may use health information to provide, coordinate and manage your treatment.

When legally permitted, we may share relevant information with clinicians, physicians, pharmacies, laboratories, treatment programs and other healthcare professionals involved in your care.

Payment

We may use and disclose health information to bill for services, verify insurance eligibility, obtain authorization, collect payment or respond to questions from a health plan.

Additional consent requirements may apply to Part 2 records.

Healthcare Operations

We may use and disclose health information to operate Honor and support the quality and safety of our services. These activities may include:

  • Treatment planning and care coordination;

  • Quality assessment and improvement;

  • Staff training and supervision;

  • Credentialing and accreditation;

  • Compliance reviews and audits;

  • Case management;

  • Business planning;

  • Legal and risk-management activities; and

  • Contacting you when necessary concerning services or care.

Appointment Reminders and Treatment Communications

We may contact you about appointments, treatment alternatives, care coordination or health-related services that may be relevant to you.

You may request that we communicate with you through a particular method or at a particular location.

Business Associates and Service Providers

Honor may use contractors and service providers to perform services involving protected health information.

When required, these organizations must sign agreements requiring them to safeguard the information, use it only for authorized purposes and comply with applicable privacy requirements.

For Part 2 records, applicable contractors or qualified service organizations must also comply with Part 2 requirements.

Public Health and Safety

When permitted or required by law, we may disclose health information for activities such as:

  • Preventing or controlling disease;

  • Reporting adverse reactions or unsafe products;

  • Supporting legally authorized public-health investigations;

  • Reporting suspected abuse, neglect or domestic violence;

  • Preventing or reducing a serious threat to health or safety; and

  • Complying with other legally authorized public-health duties.

Health Oversight, Auditing and Accreditation

We may disclose information to authorized health-oversight agencies, regulators, licensing authorities and accreditation organizations for activities such as audits, inspections, investigations, credentialing and program evaluation.

Additional Part 2 protections will apply when substance use disorder records are involved.

Research

We may use or disclose health information for research when you have provided authorization or when an institutional review board, privacy board or other applicable legal process has approved the use.

Research involving Part 2 records must also meet applicable Part 2 requirements.

Required by Law

We may use or disclose health information when federal, state or local law requires it.

If competing laws apply, Honor will follow the law providing the greater applicable privacy protection.

Workers’ Compensation

We may disclose health information as authorized by and necessary to comply with workers’ compensation laws and similar programs.

Law Enforcement and Legal Proceedings

We may disclose health information to law enforcement or in response to a court or administrative proceeding only when permitted or required by law.

Substance use disorder patient records protected by Part 2 generally cannot be used or disclosed in a civil, criminal, administrative or legislative proceeding against you unless you provide written consent or the disclosure is authorized by a qualifying Part 2 court order and accompanying legal mandate.

Medical Examiners, Coroners and Funeral Directors

When permitted by law, we may disclose relevant health information to a medical examiner, coroner or funeral director to carry out authorized duties.

Organ and Tissue Donation

When applicable and permitted by law, we may disclose health information to organizations involved in organ, eye or tissue donation and transplantation.

Military, National Security and Government Functions

We may disclose health information for specialized government functions, including military, national-security or protective-service activities, when authorized by law.

Special Protections for Substance Use Disorder Records

Certain records identifying an individual as having applied for, received or been referred for substance use disorder diagnosis, treatment or referral may receive additional protection under 42 CFR Part 2.

Consent for Treatment, Payment and Operations

When Part 2 requires consent, you may be asked to provide written consent for uses and disclosures related to treatment, payment and healthcare operations.

As permitted by law, a single consent may authorize future uses and disclosures for these purposes. You may also be able to provide more limited consent, although doing so may affect Honor’s ability to coordinate treatment, bill for services or provide certain services.

You may revoke a consent in writing except to the extent that Honor or another authorized recipient has already acted in reliance on it.

Disclosures Permitted Without Consent

Part 2 allows limited uses or disclosures without written consent in specific circumstances, which may include:

  • Communications within the program and with authorized contractors;

  • Bona fide medical emergencies;

  • Qualified research;

  • Authorized audits and program evaluations;

  • Reporting suspected child abuse or neglect as required by law;

  • Reporting crimes or threats of crimes on program premises or against program personnel;

  • Certain cause-of-death inquiries; and

  • Disclosures authorized by a qualifying Part 2 court order.

Honor will limit these uses and disclosures to what applicable law permits.

Redisclosure

When you provide consent covering treatment, payment and healthcare operations, Honor may disclose Part 2 records to authorized healthcare providers and healthcare organizations.

A recipient subject to HIPAA may be permitted to use or redisclose the information as HIPAA allows. However, Part 2 information generally remains protected from use in legal proceedings against you without your written consent or a qualifying Part 2 court order and subpoena or similar legal requirement.

Legal Proceedings

Honor will not use, disclose or testify about Part 2-protected information in a civil, criminal, administrative or legislative proceeding against you unless:

  • You provide written consent; or

  • A court issues an order that satisfies Part 2 and the disclosure is supported by a subpoena or comparable legal mandate.

Where required, you will receive notice and an opportunity to respond before the information is used or disclosed.

Honor’s Responsibilities

Honor is required to:

  • Protect the privacy and security of protected health information;

  • Follow the duties and privacy practices described in the notice currently in effect;

  • Provide you with a copy of this notice;

  • Notify affected individuals when a breach occurs that may compromise the privacy or security of their information;

  • Use or disclose only the information reasonably necessary for an authorized purpose when the minimum-necessary rule applies; and

  • Obtain written permission before using or disclosing information in situations not otherwise described or permitted by law.

If you give Honor written authorization, you may revoke it in writing unless we have already acted in reliance on it.

Changes to This Notice

Honor may revise this notice and make the revised terms effective for health information we already maintain and information received in the future.

When the notice is materially revised, the updated version will be available on Honor’s website, at its service locations and upon request.
