HIPPA

ONWARD HEALTH & WELLNESS, LLC

NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

Effective Date: JANUARY 1, 2024

A. PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE.

Onward Health & Wellness, LLC (“OHW”) is committed to preserving the privacy of your health information. In fact, we are required by law to do so for any health information created or received by us. OHW is required to provide this Notice of Privacy Practices (“Notice”) to you. The Notice tells you how we can and cannot use and disclose the health information that you have given to us or that we have learned about you when you were a patient in our system. It also tells you about your rights and our legal duties concerning your health information.

OHW is required to abide by this Notice. This Notice applies to the practices of:

• All OHW employees, contractors, volunteers, students and service providers, including clinicians, who have access to health information.

• Any health care professional authorized to enter information into your OHW medical record.

For the rest of this Notice, “OHW,” “we” and “us” will refer to all services, service areas, and workers of OHW. When we use the words “your health information,” we mean any information that you have given us about you and your health, either in written, electronic or spoken words, as well as information that we have received while we have taken care of you (including health information provided to OHW by those outside of OHW).

B. USES AND DISCLOSURES OF HEALTH INFORMATION FOR TREATMENT, PAYMENT AND HEALTH CARE OPERATIONS AT OHW.

1. Treatment, Payment and Health Care Operations.

The following section describes different ways that we use and disclose health information for treatment, payment and health care operations. Not every use or disclosure will be noted and there may be incidental disclosures that are a byproduct of the listed uses and disclosures. The ways we use and disclose health information will fall within one of the categories.

a. For Treatment. We may use your health information to provide you with health care services. We may disclose your health information to physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, technicians and other personnel involved in your health care.

b. For Payment. We may use and disclose your health information so that we may bill and collect payment from you.

c. For Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose your health information in order to run the necessary administrative, educational, quality assurance and business functions at OHW.

2. Your Choices Regarding Disclosures.

a. Family and Friends. Unless you notify us that you object, we may provide your health information to individuals, such as family and friends, who are involved in your care or who help pay for your care. We may do this if you tell us we can do so, or if you know we are sharing your health information with these people and you don’t stop us from doing so. There may also be circumstances when we can assume, based on our professional judgment, that you would not object. For example, we may assume you agree to our disclosure of your information to your spouse if your spouse comes with you into the room during a consultation or visit. Also, if you are not able to approve or object to disclosures, we may make disclosures to a particular individual (such as a family member or friend), that we feel are in your best interest and that relate to that person’s involvement in your care.

C. OTHER PERMITTED USES AND DISCLOSURES OF HEALTH CARE INFORMATION.

We may use or disclose your health information without your permission in the following circumstances, subject to all applicable legal requirements and limitations:

1. Required By Law. As required by federal, state, or local law.
