APS Pharmacy is committed to protecting your privacy. As a
Healthcare provider, we know that your trust in us is of central
importance. This policy discloses our information use and
policies and procedures in detail. Please read it to learn more
about the ways we protect the information we collect and to find
out how you can limit the information about you that is shared.
If APS should change its information practices, we will provide
you notice of any material changes.
Strict Security Measures
APS takes the security of information very seriously and has
established security standards and procedures to prevent
unauthorized access to patient information. We maintain
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to comply with
federal standards to guard patient information.
Uses and Disclosures of Health Information
We use health information about you for treatment, to obtain
payment for treatment, for administrative purposes and to
evaluate the quality of care you receive.
We may use or disclose identifiable health information about you
without your authorization for public health purposes, for
auditing purposes, or for reporting purposes to governing state
agencies. In any other situation, we will ask for your written
authorization to disclose information. You can later revoke that
authorization to stop any further uses or disclosures. We may
change our policies at any time. Before we make a significant
change in our policies we will change our notice and send the
new notice to you. You can also request a copy of our notice at
any time. For more information about our privacy practices,
contact the person listed below.
Individual Rights
In most cases, you have the right to look at or get a copy of
health information about you that we use to make decisions about
your care. You also have the right to receive a list of
instances where we have disclosed health information about you
for reasons other than treatment, payment or related
administrative purposes. If you believe that information in your
record is incorrect or if important information is missing, you
have the right to request that we correct or add the missing
information.
You may request in writing that we not use or disclose your
information for treatment payment and administrative purposes
except when specifically authorized by you, when required by law
or in emergencies. We will consider your request but are not
legally required to accept it.
