Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy.

Any other disclosure of information requires your written authorization, which may be revoked at any time.

You have the right to request restrictions on uses and disclosures of your protected health information, even if we do not agree with your request. You have the right to receive confidential communications of health information; the right to inspect and copy protected health information; the right to amend protected health information; the right to receive an accounting of disclosures; and the right to obtain a paper copy of this notice upon request.

Every effort will be made to keep your personal health information confidential. In the event that your privacy rights have been violated, please address any and all complaints to Jeff Eschelman, RPh by calling 626-2222. If the matter is unresolved, you have the right to file a similar complaint with the Department of Health and Human Services. There will be no retaliation against any individual filing a complaint.
