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

This notice applies to protected health information maintained by Star Therapy Solutions, LLC. References to “you” generally mean the patient or a parent or legal guardian legally authorized to act for the patient. Certain minors may have independent confidentiality rights under applicable law.

1 | Your rights

Access records

You may request to inspect or receive an electronic or paper copy of your child’s medical record and other health information we maintain. We generally respond within 30 days, subject to lawful extensions and exceptions. A reasonable cost-based fee may apply where permitted.

Request an amendment

You may ask us to correct information you believe is incorrect or incomplete. We may deny the request for a legally permitted reason and will explain our decision in writing, generally within 60 days, subject to a permitted extension.

Request confidential communications or restrictions

You may ask us to contact you in a specific way or at another address; we will accommodate reasonable requests. You may request limits on certain uses or disclosures for treatment, payment, or operations, although we are not required to agree to every request. If you pay in full out of pocket for a service and ask us not to disclose the related information to your health plan for payment or health care operations, we must honor that request unless the disclosure is required by law.

Request an accounting and a paper copy

You may ask for an accounting of certain disclosures made during the six years before your request. Disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations, among other categories, generally are excluded. One accounting in a 12-month period is free; additional accountings may carry a reasonable cost-based fee. You may request a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.

Personal representative and complaints

A person legally authorized to act for a patient, including a parent or guardian when permitted by law, may exercise applicable rights. We will verify authority and respect exceptions under laws governing minors. You may complain to us or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services without retaliation.

2 | Your choices

When permitted by law, you may tell us your preferences about sharing information with relatives, friends, or others involved in care or payment, and for disaster relief. If the patient cannot express a preference, we may act in the patient’s best interests using professional judgment. We generally need written authorization for most uses of psychotherapy notes, marketing activities requiring authorization, and sale of protected health information. Other uses or disclosures not described in this notice or allowed by law require written authorization, which may be revoked in writing except to the extent already relied upon.

If we contact you for fundraising where permitted by law, you may choose not to receive further fundraising communications. Special rules apply to fundraising involving substance use disorder records protected by 42 CFR Part 2.

3 | How we use and disclose information

Treatment

We may use and share information with treating speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, supervised therapy personnel, referring clinicians, and other care professionals to evaluate, plan, provide, or coordinate services. Example: a therapist shares clinically relevant findings with another treating clinician.

Payment

We may share necessary information to check eligibility, obtain authorizations, submit claims, and receive payments from insurance plans, Medicaid programs, or other authorized payers. Example: we submit therapy documentation to a health plan to support payment.

Health care operations

We may use or disclose information for quality improvement, professional supervision, staff training, business management, auditing, compliance, and other legally permitted operations. Example: we review therapy notes to evaluate quality and documentation practices.

Therapy in schools and daycare centers

We provide some services at schools and daycare centers. We share information with teachers, administrators, and other school or daycare staff only as law allows or with applicable authorization. Some records maintained by educational institutions are governed by FERPA instead of HIPAA. A parent’s signature acknowledging this notice does not by itself authorize disclosures that otherwise require permission.

Other permitted or required disclosures

Subject to legal requirements and safeguards, we may disclose information for public health and safety, reporting suspected abuse or neglect, health oversight, research when authorized by law, judicial and administrative proceedings, law enforcement, workers’ compensation, certain government functions, medical examiners and funeral directors, and to prevent or lessen a serious threat. We may disclose information when required by law, including in response to valid legal process.

4 | Special protections

Florida law and other federal or state laws may provide extra privacy protections, including for certain minor, behavioral health, and other sensitive records. Where a more protective law applies, we follow that law. Florida Statutes section 456.057 may govern confidentiality and access to patient records.

If we receive or maintain substance use disorder patient records protected by 42 CFR Part 2, additional safeguards apply. A patient may provide a single consent for future uses or disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations where Part 2 permits. Information disclosed under that consent may be redisclosed as HIPAA permits, except where special Part 2 restrictions apply. Part 2 records generally cannot be used or disclosed in civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceedings against a patient without the patient’s specific written consent or a qualifying court order and required legal process. We comply with applicable restrictions on other uses and disclosures of these records.

5 | Our responsibilities

We are required to protect the privacy and security of protected health information, provide notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, notify affected individuals when required following a breach of unsecured protected health information, and follow the terms of the notice currently in effect. We will not otherwise use or share protected information unless permitted by law or appropriately authorized in writing.

6 | Changes to this notice

We may change this notice and make revised terms effective for information we already maintain, as permitted by law. The current notice will be available upon request, posted at our office, and prominently available on any practice website describing our services.
