Notice of Privacy Policy:

This notice is being sent to you, to inform you that we are H.I.P.A.A. compliant, and to describe to you an "overview" of your privacy rights.

 

The H.I.P.A.A. law was created for companies who now transfer your personal and medical information electronically (via the Internet, email, etc.) As stated previously, we do not transfer any personal and/or medical documents electronically without your consent at this time and are not foreseeing doing this in the future.

 

Our Statement to You: We acknowledge your right to your privacy and will abide by both the H.I.P.A.A. and Privacy Act laws and regulations, we understand the meaning of the word "confidential" and we respect your rights to your privacy.

 

If you have any questions or you would like to exercise any of your rights described in this brochure, you must submit your request in writing to our H.I.P.A.A. manager; or you may call and leave a detailed message and our H.I.P.A.A. manager will get back to you as soon as possible.

 

A full copy of the H.I.P.A.A. Law and regulations is located at our place of business for your review, or you can visit these Government web sites for further information:

Notice:

Our office does not transfer "Personal Health Information" electronically; we are however H.I.P.A.A. compliant and we are regulated by the Federal Privacy Act.

 

Our Responsibility:

The confidentiality of your personal health information is very important to us. All information kept in your file is confidential and will not be released unless we obtain written consent to do so and/or it is stated by the law that we may release this information without your consent.

 

What we are allowed to do without your Consent:

Under federal and Ohio law, we are permitted to use and disclose personal health information without authorization for treatment, payment, and health care operations. [However, the American Psychiatric Association's Principles of Medical Ethics or state law may require us to obtain your express consent before we make certain disclosures of your personal health information.] [If relevant: Participants in this organized health care arrangement also share health information with each other, as necessary to carry out treatment, payment, or health care operations relating to the organized health care arrangement.]

 

Examples of these are:

Asking a nurse to assist with taking your temperature and to document the results. Supplying your insurance company with a diagnosis or other related health information that will assist payment for services rendered. Supplying the billing department with demographic and diagnostic information, etc.

Under Federal and Ohio State law, we are permitted to use and disclose personal health information without authorization, for treatment, payment, and health care operations. Note: If you are available, we will provide you an opportunity to object before disclosing any such information. If YOU are unavailable because, for example, you are incapacitated or because of some other emergency circumstance, we will use our professional judgment to 

determine what is in your best interest regarding any such disclosure. Instances where your consent is not needed. (examples)

  • Abuse, Neglect, or Domestic Violence

  • Appointment reminders and other health related services (this would include leaving messages on

  • Answering machines, unless directed not to)

  • Business Associates such as a Billing Company

  • Communicable Disease Control

  • Communications with family, only if they are the responsible party for your care and/or payment


 

  • Coroners, Medical Examiners, and Funeral Directors

  • Disaster relief or to assist in disaster relief efforts

  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

  • Judicial or Administrative Proceedings

  • Law Enforcement

    There are other instances where your PMI (Personal Medical Information) may be given out. But our office policy is to always try to get permission from you first before we disclose any such information.

    In general our practice will only release actual medical information, such as a diagnosis, medications you have been prescribed. Length of treatment, etc.

    Session notes that document diagnoses, medications prescribed and the content of our sessions will only be released upon your signing of a specific release of information allowing me to share that information with those you designate. This is mostly done via fax. Please advise if this is not acceptable.

    Your Health Information Rights:
    Under the law, you have certain rights regarding the health information that we collect and maintain about you.

This includes the right to: (examples)

  • Request that we restrict certain uses and disclosures of your health information. We are not, however, required to agree to a requested restriction.

  • Request to review, or to receive a copy of, the health information about you that is maintained in our files and the files of our business associates (if applicable). If we are unable to satisfy your request, we will tell you in the reason for the denial and your right, if any, to request a review of the decision.

  • Request that we amend or update the health information about you that is maintained in our files. This does not include therapy notes however.

  • Request a list of whom we sent your health information to.

Practice Policies

Bhealthy For Life, Affiliates  & Therapists working in the clinic enjoy a collegial and educational professional relationship with several therapeutic disciplines within BHealthy For Life network. In your particular situation, your therapist works as an independently credentialed clinician through the Clinic and its affiliation BHealthy For Life Services will be billed to your insurance company via that relationship.

 

Sessions with therapists are by appointment only. The best way to contact your therapist is by calling their direct phone number or sending an e-mail to the email provided by him or her. Voice mail will be checked throughout the day and at least once in the evenings and on the weekends. Practitioners strive to respond to VM within 48 hours. In the event of an emergency, please contact Riverside Hospital Behavioral Health Emergency Services at (614) 566-5056, NetCare Access at (614) 276-CARE, 911 or 988.

 

Appointments are typically 50-60 minutes long. Missed appointments are not covered by insurance and may be paid out of pocket. There is a $75 no show fee if there is not 24 hours notice of a cancellation.

Payments & Insurance: Co-payments are due at the time of the appointment. Payments can be given to the therapist. We do not accept checks. If you are unsure about your balance or have any questions regarding billing, please contact Supervising practitioner Virginia Clagg at claggv@gmail.com.

 

Confidentiality: Everything that takes place in psychotherapy is confidential and may not be released without your expressed written permission. There are two exceptions to this: if you or your child becomes a danger to self or others; and if you or your child is involved in child abuse. In these situations, we are legally bound to break confidentiality in order to protect all involved. Confidentiality for children and adolescents in situations other than those listed above will be discussed with you during the evaluation phase of treatment.

 

By signing this document, I understand and agree with the policies described above. I also understand and agree that, regardless of my insurance status, I am ultimately responsible for the balance of my account for any professional services rendered. If my account is more than 90 days in arrears, I authorize that pertinent billing information can be released to a professional service for purposes of collection of the outstanding balances.

Telehealth Informed Consent

The electronic communication systems we use will incorporate network and software security protocols to protect the confidentiality of patient identification and will include measures to safeguard the data and to ensure the integrity against intentional or unintentional corruption.Providers (our "Providers") are an addition to, and not a replacement for, your local primary care provider. We do not prescribe nor offer medical advice. 

Service Limitations:

  • The primary difference between telehealth and direct in-person service delivery is the inability to have direct, contact with the patient. Accordingly, some clinical needs may not be appropriate for a telehealth visit and your provider will make that determination.

  • OUR PROVIDERS DO NOT ADDRESS MEDICAL EMERGENCIES. IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU SHOULD DIAL 9-1-1 AND/OR GO TO THE NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM. 

Possible Risks:

  • Delays in evaluation and treatment could occur due to deficiencies or failures of the equipment and technologies, or Provider availability.

  • In rare events, your Provider may determine that the transmitted information is of inadequate quality, thus necessitating a rescheduled telehealth consult or a meeting with your local primary care doctor.

  • In very rare events, security protocols could fail, causing a breach of privacy of personal private information.

By checking the box associated with "Informed Consent", you acknowledge that you understand and agree with the following:

  • I hereby consent to receiving services via telehealth technologies. I understand that Providers offer telehealth-based behavioral health and mental health services, but that these services do not replace the relationship between me and my primary care doctor. I also understand it is up to the Provider to determine whether or not my specific clinical needs are appropriate for a telehealth encounter.

  • I understand a licensed Provider will be assigned to me prior to the consult, however, I can request a different licensed Provider at any time. I can review the credentials of my assigned Provider.

  • I understand that federal and state law requires health care providers to protect the privacy and the security of health information. I understand all medical reports resulting from the telehealth visit are part of my medical record.

  • I understand that BHealthy, Recovery For Life, The Columbus Wellness center, partners, subsidiaries and affiliates (The Organization) will take steps to make sure that my health information is not seen by anyone who should not see it. I understand that telehealth may involve electronic communication of my personal medical information to other health practitioners who may be located in other areas, including out of state.

  • I understand there is a risk of technical failures during the telehealth encounter beyond the control of. I AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS The Organization AND ITS EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNS, PARENTS, PREDECESSORS, AND SUCCESSORS FOR DELAYS IN EVALUATION OR FOR INFORMATION LOST DUE TO SUCH TECHNICAL FAILURES.

  • I understand that I have the right to withhold or withdraw my consent to the use of telehealth in the course of my care at any time, without affecting my right to future care or treatment. I understand that I may suspend or terminate use of the telehealth services at any time for any reason or for no reason.

  • I understand that if I am experiencing a medical emergency, that I will be directed to dial 9-1-1 immediately and that my Provider is not able to connect me directly to any local emergency services.

  • I understand that alternatives to telehealth consultation, such as in-person services are available to me.

  • I understand that I may expect the anticipated benefits from the use of telehealth in my care, but that no results can be guaranteed or assured.

  • I understand that my healthcare information may be shared with other individuals for operational, quality assurance, scheduling and billing purposes. If I have a real-time consultation, persons may be present during the consultation other than the Provider during such real-time consultation in order to operate the telehealth technologies. I further understand that I will be informed of their presence in the consultation and thus will have the right to request the following: (1)  specific details of my medical history/examination that are personally sensitive to me; (2) ask non-medical personnel to leave the telehealth examination; and/or (3) terminate the consultation at any time.

  • I understand that my Provider reserves the right to deny care for potential misuse of the Services or for any other reason if, in the professional judgment of my Provider, the provision of the Services is not medically or ethically appropriate.

  • I understand that if I participate in a consultation, that I have the right to request a copy of my  records which will be provided to me at reasonable cost of preparation, shipping and delivery within 30 days of notice.

  •  I AGREE TO HOLD HARMLESS The Organization AND ITS EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, REPRESENTATIVES, ASSIGNS, PARENTS, PREDECESSORS, AND SUCCESSORS FOR ANY CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR DEMANDS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE USE OF A THIRD-PARTY TELEHEALTH SERVICEs.
