HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices 

Colorado Restoration Physical Therapy LLC

Dr. Tyler Fosdick, PT, DPT

921 E. Prospect Road

Fort Collins, CO 80525

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how we may use and disclose your protected health information (PHI) to carry out treatment, payment or health care operations (TPO) and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also describes your rights to access and control your protected health information. "Protected health information" is information about you, including demographic information, that may identify you and that relates to your past, present or future physical or mental health or condition and related health care services.

1. Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information

Your protected health information may be used and disclosed by your healthcare provider, our office staff, and others outside of our office that is involved in your care and treatment to provide healthcare services to you, pay your healthcare bills, support the operation of the healthcare provider’s practice or other uses required by law.

Treatment: We will use and disclose your protected health information to provide, coordinate, or manage your health care and any related services. This includes coordinating or managing your health care with a third party. For example, we would disclose your protected health information, as necessary, to a physician or their medical office that provides care to you. Your protected health information may be provided to a physician to whom you have been referred to ensure that the physician has the necessary information to diagnose or treat you.

Payment: Your protected health information will be used, as needed, to obtain payment for your health care services. Since we do not bill your insurance company directly, this is unlikely. But in rare cases, health insurance companies may request information from our office if you have submitted a claim to them for reimbursement. 

Healthcare Operations: We may use or disclose, as-needed, your protected health information in order to support the business activities of your provider’s practice. These activities include but are not limited to, quality assessment activities, employee review activities, training of students, licensing, and conducting or arranging for other business activities. For example, we may disclose your protected health information to physical therapy students who work with patients in our office. We may also use or disclose your protected health information, as necessary, to contact you to remind you of your appointment.

We may use or disclose your protected health information in the following situations without your authorization. These situations include: as Required By Law; Public Health issues as required by law; Communicable Diseases; Abuse or Neglect cases; Food and Drug Administration requirements; Legal Proceedings; Law Enforcement; Coroners; Funeral Directors; Organ Donation; Criminal Activity; Military Activity and National Security; Workers' Compensation; Required Uses and Disclosures. Under the law, we must make disclosures to you and, when required by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, to investigate or determine our compliance with the requirements of Section 164.500.

Other Permitted and Required Uses and Disclosures will be made only with your consent, authorization, or opportunity to object unless required by law.

Your Rights: The following is a statement of your rights with respect to your protected health information.

You have the right to inspect and copy your protected health information. Under federal law, however, you may not inspect or copy the following records: information compiled in reasonable anticipation of, or use in, a civil, criminal, or administrative action or proceeding, and protected health information that is subject to law that prohibits access to protected health information.

You have the right to request a restriction of your protected health information. This means you may ask us not to use or disclose any part of your protected health information for the purposes of treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. You may also request that any part of your protected health information not be disclosed to family members or friends who may be involved in your care or for notification purposes as described in this Notice of Privacy Practices. Your request must state the specific restriction requested and to whom you want the restriction to apply.

Your provider is not required to agree to a restriction that you may request. If your healthcare provider believes it is in your best interest to permit the use and disclosure of your protected health information, your protected health information will not be restricted. You then have the right to use another Healthcare Professional.

By signing this form, you consent to our use and disclosure of protected health information about you for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations. You have the right to request that we restrict how protected health information about you is used or disclosed for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.

You have the right to revoke this consent in writing, signed by you. However, such a revocation shall not affect any disclosures we have already made in reliance on your prior consent. The Practice provides this form to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

The patient understands that: 

• Protected health information may be disclosed or used for treatment, payment, or health care operations.  

• The Practice has a Notice of Privacy Practices and the patient has the opportunity to review this Notice.  

• The Practice reserves the right to change the Notice of Privacy Practices. 

• The patient has the right to restrict the uses of their information but the Practice does not have to agree to the restrictions. 

The patient may revoke this consent in writing at any time, and all future disclosures will then cease.

The Practice may condition receipt of treatment upon the execution of this consent. The patient acknowledges that he/she has been given the opportunity to obtain a copy of our HIPAA practices.

Disclaimer — Full Rewrite for Clinic Policies

Now that I can see the complete current text, here's what changed and why, followed by the full ready-to-paste version.

What's removed entirely

• EARNINGS DISCLAIMER — written for businesses making income claims about a product or opportunity. Doesn't apply here.

• AFFILIATE DISCLAIMER — written for sites earning commission on outbound links. Nothing on this site does that.

• FAIR USE DISCLAIMER — this exists for sites reusing copyrighted material (quotes, images, clips) without permission. Your photography is credited to Kyle Breeden and your text is original, so unless there's copyrighted material used elsewhere on the site that I haven't seen, this section isn't doing anything for you. Worth a quick gut check on your end before dropping it, but I'd leave it out.

What's kept, tightened for a PT practice

• NOT PROFESSIONAL ADVICE becomes NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MEDICAL CARE, dropping the legal, tax, real estate, financial, and marital advice language that reads like a generic multi-industry template, and speaking directly to what your site actually is.

• GENERAL DISCLAIMER, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, THIRD PARTY LINKS, TESTIMONIALS DISCLAIMER, and CHANGES TO THE DISCLAIMER all stay, with the "Product," "program," and "course" language removed throughout since you're not selling any of those, just replaced with references to your services and this website.

As before, I'm not a lawyer, and this is a reasonable starting point rather than legal advice. Given this is legally binding language for a healthcare practice, it's worth a quick review by an attorney or a service like Termly before you treat it as final.
