HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

Who this notice covers

This notice applies to Valiant Men's Health, LLC d/b/a Valiant Medicine ("Valiant," "we," "us"), including our physicians and the staff who work with them. We're required by law to protect the privacy of your health information and to give you this notice explaining our legal duties and privacy practices.

Your rights

When it comes to your health information, you have certain rights. This section explains them and some of the ways we'll help you use them.

Get a copy of your medical record

• You can ask to see or get a copy of your medical record and other health information we have about you, on paper or electronically. Ask us how.
• We'll give you a copy or a summary, usually within 30 days of your request. We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.

Ask us to correct your medical record

• You can ask us to correct health information about you that you think is wrong or incomplete.
• We may say no, but we'll tell you why in writing within 60 days.

Ask for confidential communications

• You can ask us to contact you in a specific way (for example, a certain phone number or email) or to send mail to a different address.
• We'll say yes to all reasonable requests.

Ask us to limit what we use or share

• You can ask us not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or our operations. We aren't required to agree, and we may say no if it would affect your care.
• If you pay for a service or health care item out of pocket in full, you can ask us not to share that information with your health insurer for payment or operations. We'll say yes unless a law requires us to share it.

Get a list of those we've shared information with

• You can ask for a list (an "accounting") of the times we've shared your health information in the six years before the date you ask, who we shared it with, and why.
• The list won't include disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations, or certain others, such as any you asked us to make. We'll give you one list a year for free and may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee if you ask for another within 12 months.

Get a copy of this notice

You can ask for a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you've agreed to get it electronically. We'll give it to you promptly.

Choose someone to act for you

If you've given someone medical power of attorney, or someone is your legal guardian, that person can use your rights and make choices about your health information. We'll make sure the person has this authority before we act.

File a complaint if you think your rights were violated

See "Complaints" below.

Your choices

For certain health information, you can tell us your choices about what we share. If you have a clear preference for how we share your information in the situations below, tell us, and we'll follow your instructions.

You have both the right and the choice to tell us whether to:

• Share information with your family, close friends, or others involved in your care
• Share information in a disaster relief situation

If you can't tell us your preference, for example if you're unconscious, we may go ahead and share your information if we believe it's in your best interest. We may also share it when needed to lessen a serious and imminent threat to health or safety.

In these cases, we never share your information unless you give us written permission:

• Marketing
• Sale of your information
• Most sharing of psychotherapy notes

How we use and share your health information

We typically use or share your health information in these ways:

To treat you

We use your health information and share it with other professionals who are treating you. Example: we share your lab results with a specialist we refer you to.

To run our practice

We use and share your health information to run our practice, improve your care, and contact you when needed. Example: we use your information to schedule house calls and follow up with you.

For payment

We use your information to handle your membership fees, and we may share it with your health insurer or others when needed to get services such as lab work and prescriptions paid for. Example: we give your insurer information needed for a lab test ordered through your coverage.

Other ways we may use or share your information

We're allowed, or sometimes required, to share your information in other ways, usually ones that serve the public good, such as public health and research. We have to meet many conditions in the law before we can share your information for these purposes.

• Public health and safety: preventing disease, helping with product recalls, reporting adverse reactions to medications, reporting suspected abuse, neglect, or domestic violence, and preventing or reducing a serious threat to anyone's health or safety
• Research: under conditions the law sets
• Complying with the law: including with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if it wants to see that we're complying with federal privacy law
• Organ and tissue donation: with organ procurement organizations
• Medical examiners and funeral directors: when an individual dies
• Workers' compensation, law enforcement, and other government requests: for workers' compensation claims, for law enforcement purposes or with a law enforcement official, with health oversight agencies for activities authorized by law, and for special government functions such as military, national security, and presidential protective services
• Lawsuits and legal actions: in response to a court or administrative order, or in response to a subpoena

Virginia law may give your health information extra protection in some cases. When it does, we follow the stricter rule.

Our responsibilities

• We're required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information.
• We'll let you know promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.
• We must follow the duties and privacy practices described in this notice and give you a copy of it.
• We won't use or share your information other than as described here unless you tell us we can in writing. If you tell us we can, you may change your mind at any time. Let us know in writing if you do.

For more information, see the HHS page on notices of privacy practices.

Changes to this notice
