- For Payment: Although we do not accept insurance, we may use your PHI to process payments for the healthcare services provided directly to you. This involves using your information to handle payments made by you or on your behalf.
- For Healthcare Operations: We may use your PHI to conduct internal operations, such as quality assessment and improvement activities, staff training, and administrative functions. These activities help us provide high-quality care and maintain efficient clinic operations.
- As Required by Law: We may disclose your PHI when required by federal, state, or local law, including to comply with subpoenas, court orders, or legal processes.
