Use and Disclosure of Your Health Information

EMD may use health information to carry out treatment and procedures. Treatment is the provision, coordination or management of health care. For example, EMD may use and disclose your information to consult with a third party or to refer you to other health care providers. EMD will get your written consent prior to making disclosures outside EMD for treatment purposes, except if there is an emergency.  Healthcare procedures include the activities necessary for EMD to run its business. For example, EMD may use your information to review treatment and services and to evaluate the performance of our staff.

EMD may use or disclose your health information:

  • When required by federal, state, or local law.
  • To support public health activities by reporting as required or authorized by state or federal law. These reports may include the reporting of exposure to a communicable disease or risk of spreading a disease or condition.
  • To cooperate with law enforcement officials for certain law enforcement purposes as directed by a court order, warrant, criminal subpoena, or other lawful process.
  • To report abuse or neglect.
  • To support health oversight activities that are authorized by law, such as administrative or criminal investigations, inspections, licensure or disciplinary actions and other similar activities necessary for appropriate oversight of government benefit programs or functions.
  • When required by a coroner or medical examiner for the purpose of identifying a deceased person, determining a cause of death or other duties as required by law.
  • When necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health and safety of a person or the public and the disclosure is to a person reasonably able to prevent or lessen the threat, as consistent with applicable law and standards.
  • For judicial or administrative proceedings, in response to a valid court order, administrative order, a grand jury subpoena, or with your written consent.
  • For research purposes, with your written authorization or as permitted by state law.
  • To business associates to perform functions on EMD’s behalf, if the business associate has signed an agreement to protect the confidentiality of the information.

EMD may disclose your health information to a family member, other relatives, or a close friend or any other person you identify and for whom you consent to such a disclosure if the information relates to that person’s involvement in your health care. If you are unable to agree or object to the use or disclosure, EMD may disclose such information as necessary if EMD determines that it is in your best interest.

In other situations, your written authorization will be obtained before EMD will use or disclose your health information to third parties outside EMD.

State and federal laws may be more stringent and may prohibit certain uses and disclosures identified above. When applicable, EMD will follow the more stringent requirement.

Patient Rights

1. You may request EMD to restrict uses and disclosures of your health information. However, EMD is not required to agree to the requested restriction. These requests must be made in writing to EMD at support@enhance.md. In your request, you must tell us (a) what information you want to limit; (b) whether you want to limit EMD’s use, disclosure, or both, and (c) to whom you want the limits to apply, for example, if you want to prohibit disclosures to your spouse.

2. You have the right to request confidential communications by alternative means or at alternative locations. For example, you may request that we communicate with you only by mail. EMD will accommodate all reasonable requests, but your request must specify how or where you wish to be contacted, and EMD may require you to provide information about how payment will be handled. You must request confidential communications in writing.

3. You have a right to inspect and obtain a copy of your health information that is used to make decisions about your care for as long as EMD maintains the information. This right does not apply to certain health information, including information compiled in reasonable anticipation of or for litigation and other information not subject to the right to access information under state law and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended (HIPAA). Requests for access to health information must be made in writing to EMD at support@enhance.md. If access is denied, you will be provided with a written explanation that sets forth the basis for the denial, a description of how you may review those rights and a description of how you may complain.

4. You have the right to request that EMD amend your health information if it is incorrect or incomplete. Requests for amendment of information must be made in writing to EMD at support@enhance.md, and you must provide a reason that supports your request to have the information changed. In addition, EMD may deny your request if you ask us to amend information that: (a) was not created by EMD (unless the person or entity that created the information is no longer available to make the amendment); (b) is not part of the medical information kept by EMD; (c) is not part of the information you would be permitted to inspect and copy; or (d) is accurate and complete.

5. At your request, EMD will provide you with an accounting of disclosures by EMD of your health information during the six (6) years prior to the date of your request. However, such accounting will not include disclosures made: 1) to carry out treatment, payment or Healthcare procedures; 2) directly to you or your personal representatives; 3) prior to the effective date of this notice; or 4) based on your written authorization. If you request more than one accounting within a 12-month period, EMD will charge a reasonable, cost-based fee for each subsequent accounting. Requests for an accounting of disclosures must be made in writing at support@enhance.md.

6. To obtain a paper copy of this notice, email EMD at support@enhance.md.

7. You may exercise your rights through a personal representative as permitted or required by applicable law. Your personal representative may be required to produce evidence of authority to act on your behalf before that person will be given access to your information or allowed to take any action for you.

8. If you believe your privacy rights have been violated you may complain to the EMD at support@enhance.md. You may also file a complaint with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. All complaints must be submitted in writing. You will not be penalized in any way for filing a complaint.

Security

The security of your information is important to EMD, including, but not limited to, the Personal Information collected via the Site. We use reasonable security measures to protect against the loss, unauthorized access, misuse, alteration and destruction of Personal Information under our control, both during the transmission and once we receive it. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of firewalls and encryption. Although we make good faith efforts to maintain the security of such Personal Information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that it will remain free from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, or alteration. Further, while we work hard to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent “hackers” or other unauthorized persons from illegally accessing or obtaining this information. We keep Personal Information no longer than necessary for legitimate business purpose or as required by law.

As part of securing personal data stored on our servers, EMD restricts access to Personal Information to EMD employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve the Services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

If EMD learns of a security breach, EMD may attempt to notify you electronically so that you can take appropriate protective steps. By using the Site or by providing Personal Information to us, you agree that we can communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of the Site.

If a security systems breach occurs, EMD may post a notice on our homepage (www.enhance.md) or elsewhere on the Site and may send email to you at the email address you have provided to us. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing. This notice paragraph applies to users of this Site.

Change of Ownership

In the event of a change in ownership, or a merger with, acquisition by, or transfer or sale of all or a portion of our assets to, another entity, EMD reserves the right to transfer all of your Personal Information, including email addresses, to that entity. EMD will use reasonable efforts to notify registered users of any such transfer to an unaffiliated third party (by a posting on our homepage, or by email to your email address that you provided to us, as chosen by us in our discretion).

Children

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of age. EMD and the Site are not directed toward individuals under the age of eighteen (18), and we request that such individuals do not provide Personal Information through our Site. Additionally, we do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Information from anyone under the age of 18, unless or except as permitted by law. If we learn that Personal Information has been collected from a user under 18 years of age on or through the Site, then EMD will take the appropriate steps to cause this information to be deleted. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 18 who has registered on the Site or you believe has otherwise provided Personal Information to EMD, please contact support@enhance.md to have that child’s account terminated and information deleted.

Notice to California Residents

If you are a resident of the state of California, California’s “Shine the Light” law permits you to request information regarding the disclosure of your Personal Information by us to a third party for the third party’s direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to support@enhance.md.

EMD may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most recent version of the Privacy Policy will always be posted on this Site, with the “Effective Date” posted at the top of the Privacy Policy.
