NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
NORTH CAROLINA
Effective April 14, 2003
Revised September 1, 2010

THIS NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES applies only to care and treatment you receive at this facility or other Novant Health facilities in North Carolina that are treated as an “affiliated covered entity” under the federal law known as HIPAA that protects the privacy of your health information. It also applies to all the people who provide healthcare services at a Novant Health facility in North Carolina, even if they are not our employees or agents. These people provide care along with us as part of an “organized healthcare arrangement.” All of these healthcare providers are referred to as “we” in this Notice. If you would like a listing of the Novant Health facilities covered by this Notice, please contact the Novant Health Privacy Official at 800-473-6610 ext. 49829 or PO Box 33549 Charlotte, NC 28233-3549. You may also visit our website at www.novanthealth.org.

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.

A.WE MUST PROTECT HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. We must protect the privacy of health information about you that can be identified with you, sometimes called “PHI” for short. PHI includes information about your past, present or future health, the healthcare we provide to you, and payment for your healthcare. This Notice explains how we can use and disclose PHI about you and gives you some examples. In addition, we can make other uses and disclosures that occur as a byproduct of the uses and disclosures described in this Notice. This Notice also explains your privacy rights, and how you can file a complaint if you believe those rights have been violated.

We must follow this Notice. We may change this Notice and make the changes apply to PHI we already have if we:

Post the new notice in our offices;
Make copies of the new notice available if someone asks for it (either at our offices or through the Novant Health Privacy Official); and
Post the new notice on our website: www.novanthealth.org

B.HOW WE CAN USE AND DISCLOSE PHI ABOUT YOU.

1.When We Can Use and Disclose PHI About You Without An Authorization. We may use and disclose PHI about you without your Authorization in the following ways:

a.To provide healthcare treatment to you. We use and share PHI with others to provide and coordinate your healthcare treatment. For example, a doctor treating you for a broken leg may need to know if you have diabetes because diabetes may slow the healing process. Different departments may also need your PHI so you can get your medicine, lab work, meals and x-rays. We may also share health information about you with people like home health providers or others who may be involved in your medical care after you leave our care.

b.To obtain payment for services. We use and share PHI with others (for example, insurance companies, health plans, collection agencies, and consumer reporting agencies) to bill and collect payment for services we provided to you. Before we provide scheduled services to you, we may share information with your health plan to ask whether it will pay for the services or with government agencies to see if you qualify for benefits. We may also share health information with hospital departments that review care to see if the care and the costs were appropriate. For example, if you have a broken leg, we may need to give our billing department and your health plan information about your condition, the supplies used (such as plaster for your cast or crutches), and the services you received (such as x-rays or surgery) so we can be paid or you can be reimbursed.

c.For health care operations. We may use and share PHI to perform business activities that we call “healthcare operations” to help us improve the quality of care we provide and reduce healthcare costs. For example, we may use PHI to review our services or evaluate the performance of the people taking care of you. We may share PHI with governmental agencies, so they can review the care we provide. We also may share PHI with doctors, nurses, medical and nursing students, and other personnel (like billing clerks or assistants) for training purposes.

d.To raise money for our organization. We may use and/or disclose PHI about you, including disclosure to a foundation, to contact you to raise money. We will only share your name, address, telephone number, and the dates you received treatment or services at the hospital, unless you sign an Authorization. If you do not want to be contacted in this way, you must notify the Novant Health Privacy Official in writing at PO Box 33549 Charlotte, NC 28233-3549.

e.To remind you about appointments. We may use and/or disclose PHI to remind you about an appointment you have with us.

f.To tell you about treatment options. We may use and/or disclose PHI to tell you about treatment options that may interest you. We may also use and/or disclose PHI to give you gifts of a small value. For example, if you have diabetes, we may tell you about nutritional services that might help you.

g.To our business associates. We provide some services through other businesses we call business associates. We may give business associates health information about you so they can do the job we asked them to do. For example, we might use a copy service to make copies of requested medical records. When we do this, we require the business associate to safeguard health information about you.

2.When We May Use And Disclose PHI About You Without An Authorization Or An Opportunity To Object. In some situations, we may use and/or disclose PHI about you without your Authorization or an opportunity to object. These situations include when the use or disclosure is:

a.When it is required by law.

b.For public health activities. We may disclose PHI about you for public health activities. These activities generally include disclosing PHI in order to:

f.For law enforcement purposes. We may disclose PHI about you to report certain types of wounds, physical injuries, or criminal conduct on our property.

g.To a medical examiner or funeral director. We may disclose PHI about you to a coroner or medical examiner to identify you or determine cause of death. We may also release PHI to funeral directors so they can carry out their duties.

h.For organ, eye or tissue donation purposes.

i.For medical research. Research done in this facility must go through a special review process. We will not use or disclose PHI about you unless we have your Authorization or we have determined that your privacy is protected.

We may share your name, room number, and condition (fair, stable, etc) with people who ask for you by name. We also may share your religious affiliation with religious leaders of your faith. If you do not want your information included in the directory, please tell Registration when you arrive.

C.OTHER LAWS. In some cases, other laws require us to give more protection to your health information than HIPAA does. Even if one of these special rules apply to your health information, we may still be required to report certain things and we will follow these laws. For example, we are required to report suspected cases of child or disabled adult abuse or neglect, and we may share the information listed below when we make the report.

If you have a communicable disease like tuberculosis, syphilis or HIV/AIDS, we generally will not share that information unless we have your written permission. But, we do not need your permission to report information about your disease to State and local health officials or to prevent the spread of the disease.
If you are treated for a mental health condition, a developmental disability or substance abuse, state law requires us to get your written consent before we disclose that information. There are some exceptions to this rule. For example, we may disclose information if you need a guardian or involuntary commitment. We also may disclose information to: (1) a healthcare provider who is treating you in an emergency; (2) a healthcare provider who referred you to us, if they ask; and (3) to other mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse facilities or professionals when necessary to coordinate your care or treatment. If you do not object, we can also tell your family that you were admitted to, or discharged from, a behavioral health unit. Under a special federal law, if you apply for or receive substance abuse services from us, we generally have to get your written permission before we share information that identifies you as a substance abuser or a patient receiving substance abuse services. There are some exceptions to this rule. We can share this information with our workers to coordinate your care and to agencies or individuals that help us serve you. We may share information with medical workers in an emergency. If you commit a crime, or threaten to commit a crime, on our property or against our workers, we may report that to the police.
If you get care from our home health agency, hospice, ambulatory surgical facility or cardiac rehabilitation program, we will give you written notice and a chance to tell us not to release your PHI before we release any health information about you to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
Our pharmacy will only release a copy of your prescription orders to certain people. Some of these people include: (1) you; (2) the provider who wrote the prescription or who is treating you; (3) a pharmacist who is providing pharmacy services to you; (4) a company responsible for providing, or paying, for your medical care; (5) members and certain employees of the Board of Pharmacy; and (6) researchers who have been approved by the Board of Pharmacy, if there are certain protections in place to keep the information confidential.
If you are under the age of 18 and are not emancipated, we will not reveal any information about treatment you receive for pregnancy, venereal disease and other communicable diseases, drug or alcohol abuse, or emotional disturbance without your permission. But, we are allowed to reveal this information if: (1) your doctor thinks your parents need to know because there is a serious threat to your life or health, or (2) your parents or guardian ask your doctor about the treatment.

D.OTHER USES AND DISCLOSURES. In any situation other than those listed above, we will ask for your written Authorization before we use or disclose your PHI. If you sign a written Authorization allowing us to disclose PHI, you can cancel it later. Your cancellation must be in writing, and we will not disclose PHI about you after we receive your cancellation.

You also have the right to ask us to limit the health information we share about you to someone involved in your care or the payment for your care. Your request must be in writing. We do not have to agree to your request in most cases. But, we do have to agree if you ask us not to disclose PHI to your health plan or for our healthcare operations if the PHI is about an item or service you paid for, in full, out-of-pocket. Even if we agree, your restrictions may not be followed in some situations such as emergencies or when disclosure is required by law.

2.Right to Ask for Different Ways to Communicate with You. You have the right to ask us to contact you in a certain way or at a certain location. For example, you can ask us to only contact you at your work phone number. If your request is reasonable, we will do what you ask. In some situations, we may require you to explain how you will handle payment and give us another way to reach you.

3.Right to See and Copy PHI. You have the right to see and get a copy of the health information about you. You must sign a special form called an Authorization. We may charge you a fee if you have asked for a copy of records. We can deny your request in some situations.

4.Right to Ask for Changes. You have the right to ask us to change PHI about you if you do not believe it is correct or complete. You must ask us in writing. You must explain why you want the change.
