Privacy Policy

As a formally registered healthcare provider, Heritage Health Concepts (HHC) takes the privacy of our client’s information very seriously. Our company follows the federal HIPAA guidelines and Privacy Act for privacy and safety.

What Information Does Heritage Health Concepts Protect?

Any information you give us on a consent form or other required form to receive blood work from us.
Conversations with our medical director or any of our medical technicians.
Billing information.
Any other general health information that is shared with our staff or given to us on paper.

How Does Heritage Health Concepts Protect My Information?

HHC has put in place many administrative safeguards to handle your information discreetly and privately.
Disclosure of information is not given under any circumstances unless express permission is given from you, the client.
All HHC staff are trained how to handle sensitive information that you disclose to us and to do so professionally and courteously.

Who Can Look At and See My Information?

HIPAA sets rules and limits on who is able to see your information. To make sure that your health information is protected in a way that does not interfere with your health care, your information can be used and shared:

For your treatment and care coordination.
To pay doctors and hospitals for your health care and to help run their businesses.
With your family, relatives, friends, or others you identify who are involved with your health care or your health care bills, unless you object.
To protect the public’s health, such as by reporting when the flu is in your area.
To make required reports to the police, such as reporting gunshot wounds.

How Do You Handle Any Requests for Information Made By My Employer?

HIPAA protects you from having to share any personal information that is given to HHC at your corporate health event. However, the Privacy Rule does not prevent your supervisor, human resources worker or others from asking you directly for a doctor’s note or other information about your health, if your employer needs the information to administer sick leave, workers’ compensation, wellness programs, or health insurance.

However, if your employer asks your health care provider directly for information about you, your provider cannot disclose the information in response without your authorization.

Covered health care providers must have your authorization to disclose this information to your employer, unless other laws require them to disclose it.

It is important to know that your health information cannot be used or shared without your written consent unless this law allows it. For example, without your authorization, your provider generally cannot:

Give your information to your employer
Use or share your information for marketing or advertising purposes
Share private notes about your health care
