General Information

Information regarding your health care, including payment for health care, is protected by two federal laws: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1320d et seq., 45 C.F.R. Parts 160 and 164, and the Confidentiality Law, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 290 dd-2, 42 C.F.R. Part 2. Under these laws, Lantana Recovery may not say to a person outside Lantana Recovery that you attend the program, nor may Lantana Recovery disclose any information identifying you as an alcohol or drug abuser, or disclose any other protected information except as permitted by federal law.

Lantana Recovery must obtain your written consent before it can disclose information about you for payment purposes. For example, Lantana Recovery may obtain your written consent before it can disclose information to your health insurer in order to be paid for services. Generally, you must also sign a written consent before Lantana Recovery can share information for treatment purposes or for your health care operations. However, federal law permits Lantana Recovery to disclose information without your written consent:

Pursuant to an agreement with a qualified service organization/business associate;

To report a crime committed on Lantana Recovery premises or against Lantana Recovery’s personnel;

To medical personnel in a medical emergency;

To appropriate authorities to report suspected child abuse or neglect;

As allowed by court order.

Before Lantana Recovery can use or disclose any information about your health in a manner which is not described above, it must first obtain your specific written consent allowing it to make the disclosure. Any such written consent may be revoked by you in writing.

Lantana Recovery is not required to agree to any restrictions you request, but if it does agree then it is bound by that agreement and may not use or disclose any information which you have restricted except as necessary in a medical emergency.

Under HIPAA you have the right to inspect and copy your own health information obtained by Lantana Recovery except to the extent that the information contains psychotherapy notes or information compiled for use in a civil, criminal, administrative proceeding or in other limited circumstances.

Under HIPAA you also have the right, with some exceptions, to amend health care information maintained in Lantana Recovery’s records, and to request and receive and accounting of disclosures of your health related information made by Lantana Recovery during the six years prior to your request. You also have the right to receive a paper copy of this notice.

Lantana Recovery Duties

Lantana Recovery is required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information and to provide you with notice of its legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your health information. Lantana Recovery is required by law to abide by the terms of this notice. Lantana Recovery reserves the right to change the terms of this notice and to make new notice provisions effective for all protected information it maintains. All requests should be made in writing to the contact listed as the bottom of this notice.

Complaints and Reporting Violations

You may complain to Lantana Recovery and the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services if you believe that your privacy rights have been violated under HIPAA. You may complain to us in writing using the information listed in this form. At your request we will also provide you with the address of the US Department of Health and Human Services. We support your right to the privacy of your health information. You will not be retaliated against for filing such a complaint.
