The privacy of your information is important to us, and at Hill & Ioppolo Oral and Facial Surgeons, we follow all state and federal regulations protecting your private healthcare information. Information about you or your procedure will only be shared with your explicit permission, and generally, the information you share with us will only be shared for the following reasons:
- For treatment purposes. Your information will be shared with people who are directly involved in your treatment, such as your doctor and surgical assistants. If your doctor needs a second opinion from a specialist to better provide care, information about your condition may be shared with another specialist to get their input.
- For payment purposes. Information about your procedure may be shared with your insurance company. Insurance companies need information about what treatment was given so that they can provide payment for your procedure.
- For healthcare operations. Your information may be shared so that we can undergo quality assessment, outcome evaluation, create training programs, and develop better systems for patient care at our practice. We may share your information with other businesses to obtain these quality assessment services. Your personal information will never be shared for marketing purposes.
You have a right to limit these uses of your personal information, and you can request these limitations to the practice in writing, although not all requests can be granted. This is just a brief synopsis of our privacy statement, and our full privacy policy is available for your review as well. You will be provided with our full privacy policy before your treatment at our practice.
Thank you for taking the time to review this information, and we look forward to seeing you at our practice.
