Certain information, including psychotherapy notes maintained separately from the medical record and certain substance use disorder records, may receive additional protection.

Uses and disclosures requiring authorization will generally be made only with appropriate written authorization.

Subject to legal limitations, you may have rights to inspect and copy health information, request amendment, request an accounting of certain disclosures, request restrictions, request confidential communications, and receive a copy of this Notice.
