Consecrated Care, Inc. protects patient information under federal and state law, including HIPAA and the federal confidentiality rules that apply to substance use disorder treatment records.
This page is a summary for website visitors. The organization's official Notice of Privacy Practices is provided at the clinic and is available on request from either location.
Information we protect
Patient health information includes records related to assessment, diagnosis, medication, counseling, and payment for treatment. Substance use disorder treatment records receive additional federal protection and generally may not be disclosed without written consent.
How information is used
Patient information is used to provide and coordinate treatment, obtain payment for services, and carry out required health care operations, including quality review and accreditation activities.
Disclosures requiring consent
Except in limited circumstances permitted by law — such as medical emergencies or a valid court order — disclosure of substance use disorder treatment information to family members, employers, courts, or other providers requires the patient's written consent.
Patient rights
Patients generally have the right to request access to their records, request corrections, request restrictions on certain disclosures, receive a copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices, and file a complaint about privacy practices without retaliation.
