This notice applies to the information and records we have about you, your health, health status, and the health care and services you receive from RYNK Chiropractic (d/b/a of ROY JUNG, D.C., PLLC).

It will tell you about the ways in which we may use and disclose health information about you and describes your rights and our obligations regarding the use and disclosure of that information.

HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

We may use and disclose health information for the following purposes:

For Treatment. We may use health information about you to provide you with medical treatment or services. We may disclose health information about you to doctors, nurses, technicians, staff or other personnel who are involved in taking care of you and your health. For example, your doctor may be treating you for a heart condition and may need to know if you have other health problems that could complicate your treatment. The doctor may use your medical history to decide what treatment is best for you. The doctor may also tell another doctor about your condition so that doctor can help you provide you with the most appropriate care. Different personnel in our organization may share information about you and disclose information to people who do not work for RYNK Chiropractic in order to coordinate your care, such as scheduling lab work and ordering x-rays. Family members and other health care providers may be part of your medical care outside this office and may require information about you that we have. We will request your permission before sharing health information with your family or friends unless you are unable to give permission to such disclosures due to your health condition.

For Payment. We may use and disclose health information about you so that the monetary compensation for the treatment and services you receive at RYNK Chiropractic may be collected from you or another party.

For Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose health information about you in order to run RYNK Chiropractic and ensure that you and our other patients receive quality care. For example, your medical records may be used in the evaluation of services, and the appropriateness and quality of chiropractic treatment we provide. Other persons in the office may overhear some of your protected medical information during the course of care in the open treatment area. Should you need to speak with the doctor at any time in private, a place for these conversations will be provided upon request.

For Contacting You and Appointment Reminders. We may use your address, phone number, e-mail to contact you with notifications, billing inquiries, treatment alternatives, and other health-related information. If contacting you by phone, we may leave a message. Text messages will only be sent if you opt in to receive them, as outlined in the Messaging Consent and Privacy section.
