Notice of Privacy Practices continued E. The Right to Correct or Update Your PHI. If you believe that there is a mistake in your PHI or that a piece of important information is missing, you have the right to request that we correct the existing information or add the missing information. You must provide the request and your reason for the request in writing. We will respond within 60 days of receiving your request. We may deny your request in writing if the PHI is (i) correct and complete, (ii) not created by us, (iii) not allowed to be disclosed, or (iv) not part of our records. Our written denial will state the reasons for the denial and explain your right to file a written statement of disagreement with the denial. If you don’t file one, you have the right to request that your request and our denial be attached to all future disclosures of your PHI. If we approve your request, we will make the change to your PHI, tell you that we have done it, and tell others that need to know about the change to your PHI. F. The right to correspond via E-mail. It is our general policy not to initiate correspondence with our patients via e-mail. If you choose to e-mail a member of our staff, we will reply to the same address. If the information discussed is considered PHI, patient identity will be confirmed and a printed copy of the correspondence will be retained in your chart. Please be aware that this is not our preferred method of correspondence. G. Please direct any requests and/or questions to the contact person listed in Section VI. V. HOW TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PRIVACY PRACTICES If you think that we may have violated your privacy rights, or you disagree with a decision we made about access to your PHI, you may file a written complaint with the person listed in Section VI below. You also may send a written complaint to the Office For Civil Rights Headquarters at the address listed in Section VI. We will take no retaliatory action against you if you file a complaint about our privacy practices. VI. PERSON TO CONTACT FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS NOTICE OR TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PRIVACY PRACTICES.
