At Tennessee Orthopedics, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our patients' personal and health information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We collect various types of information, including personal information such as your name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth, and other identifying information. We may also collect health information, including medical history, treatment records, prescriptions, and other health-related information. Additionally, we gather payment information such as insurance details, billing information, and payment history. Technical information, including IP addresses, browser types, and other data collected through our website and online services, is also gathered.
Your information is used to provide, coordinate, and manage your healthcare and related services. We use it to obtain payment for the healthcare services we provide and to support the day-to-day activities and management of Tennessee Orthopedics. Additionally, we use your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes, and to communicate with you about your treatment, appointments, and other relevant health information. We also conduct research and quality improvement activities, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
We may share your information with other healthcare providers involved in your care and with insurance companies and other payers for billing and payment purposes. Third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf may also receive your information, subject to contractual obligations to protect it. We may share your information when required by law, such as in response to a court order or subpoena, and for public health activities, such as reporting diseases or adverse events. Research institutions may also receive your information for research purposes, subject to applicable laws and ethical guidelines.
You have the right to request a copy of your health records and to request corrections to them. You can request restrictions on how we use or share your information and request that we communicate with you in a specific manner or at a specific location. You have the right to request a list of certain disclosures we have made of your information and to revoke any authorization you have given us to use or share your information, except to the extent we have already acted on it.
We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. However, no security measures are completely foolproof, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on our website and indicating the date of the latest revision. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Privacy Policy.
