HIPAA NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
Effective Date: 08/01/2016
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
If you have any questions about this notice, please contact:
Monique Richard, LLC DBA Nutrition-In-Sight, LLC

Compliance Officer:
Tara King | 423-230-2111 | [email protected]
OUR PLEDGE REGARDING PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION:
Monique Richard, LLC understands that protected health information about you and your health is personal. We are committed to protecting health information about you. This Notice applies to all records of your care generated by the Monique Richard, LLC, whether made by Monique Richard, LLC personnel or your personal doctor.
This Notice will tell you about the ways we may use and disclose protected health information about you. We also describe your rights and certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of protected health information. The law requires us to:
¥ make sure that protected health information that identifies you is kept private;
¥ notify you about how we protect protected health information about you;
¥ explain how, when and why we use and disclose protected health information;
¥ follow the terms of the Notice that is currently in effect.
We are required to follow the procedures in this Notice. We reserve the right to change the terms of this Notice and to make new Notice provisions effective for all protected health information that we maintain by:
¥ posting the revised Notice in our office
¥ making copies of the revised Notice available upon request;
¥ posting the revised Notice on our Web site.
HOW WE MAY USE AND DISCLOSE PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU
The following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose protected health information without your written authorization.
For Treatment. We may use protected health information about you to provide, coordinate or manage your medical treatment or services. We may disclose protected health information about you to doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students, or other Monique Richard, LLC
personnel who are involved in taking care of you.
Monique Richard, LLC staff may also share protected health information about you in order to coordinate the different things you need, such as prescriptions, lab work and x-rays. We also may disclose protected health information about you to people outside Monique Richard, LLC who may be involved in your medical care, such as clergy or others we use to provide services that are part of your care.
We may use and disclose protected health information to contact you as a reminder that you
have an appointment for treatment or medical care at Monique Richard, LLC.
We may use and disclose protected health information to tell you about or recommend possible
treatment options or alternatives or health-related benefits or services that may be of interest to you.
For Payment for Services. We may use and disclose protected health information about you
so that the treatment and services you receive at the Monique Richard, LLC may be billed
to and payment may be collected from you, an insurance company or a third party. For example, we may need to give your health plan information about nutrition services you received at Monique Richard, LLC so your health plan will pay us or reimburse you for the service. We may also tell your health plan about the nutrition services you are going to receive to obtain prior approval or to determine whether your plan will cover the treatment.
For Health Care Operations. We may use and disclose protected health information about you for Monique Richard, LLC
health care operations, such as our quality assessment and improvement activities, case management, coordination of care, business planning, customer services and other activities. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run the facility, reduce health care costs, and make sure that all of our patients receive quality care. For example, we may use protected health information to review our treatment and services and to evaluate the performance of the dietitian who is providing your services. We may also combine protected health information about many Monique Richard, LLC patients to decide what additional services Monique Richard, LLC should offer, what services are not needed, and whether certain new treatments are effective. We may also discloseinformation to doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students, and other Monique Richard, LLC personnel for review and learning purposes. We may also combine the protected health information we have with protected health information from other health care facilities to compare how we are doing and see where we can make improvements in the care and services we offer. We may remove information that identifies you from this set of protected health information so others may use it to study health care and health care delivery without learning who the specific patients are. We may also contact you as part of a fundraising effort.
Subject to applicable state law, in some limited situations the law allows or requires us to use or disclose your health information for purposes beyond treatment, payment, and operations. However, some of the disclosures set forth below may never occur at our facilities.
As Required By Law. We will disclose protected health information about you when required to do so by federal, state or local law.
Research. We may disclose your PHI to researchers when their research has been approved by an institutional review board or privacy board that has reviewed the research proposal and established protocols to ensure the privacy of your information
Health Risks. We may disclose protected health information about you to a government authority if we reasonably believe you are a victim of abuse, neglect or domestic violence. We will only disclose this type of information to the extent required by law, if you agree to the disclosure, or if the disclosure is allowed by law and we believe it is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to you or another person.
Judicial and Administrative Proceedings. If you are involved in a lawsuit or dispute, we may disclose your information in response to a court or administrative order. We may also disclose health information about you in response to a subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process by someone else involved in the dispute, but only if efforts have been made, either by us or the requesting party, to tell you about the request or to obtain an order protecting the information requested.
Business Associates. We may disclose information to business associates who perform services on our behalf (such as billing companies); however, we require them to appropriately safeguard your information.

Organ and Tissue Donation. If you are an organ donor, we may release protected health information to organizations that handle organ procurement or organ, eye or tissue transplantation or to an organ donation bank, as necessary to facilitate organ or tissue donation and transplantation.
Special Government Functions. If you are a member of the armed forces, we may release protected health information about you if it relates to military and veterans activities. We may also release your protected health information for national security and intelligence purposes, protective services for the President, and medical suitability or determinations of the Department of State.
Coroners, Medical Examiners, and Funeral Directors. We may release protected health information to a coroner or medical examiner. This may be necessary, for example, to identify a deceased person or determine the cause of death. We may also disclose protected health information to funeral directors consistent with applicable law to enable them to carry out their duties.
Correctional Institutions and Other Law Enforcement Custodial Situations. If you are an inmate of a correctional institution or under the custody of a law enforcement official, we may release protected health information about you to the correctional institution or law enforcement official as necessary for your or another person’s health and safety.
