Notice of Privacy Practices
Effective date: July 6, 2026 · beBIONIC · Lutz, FL · (813) 563-2799
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.
Our commitment
We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information ("PHI"), to give you this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, to follow the terms of the Notice currently in effect, and to notify you if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your PHI.
How we may use and disclose your PHI
- Treatment. We use and share your PHI with the licensed providers, supervising physicians, pharmacies, and laboratories involved in your care — for example, sending your prescription and relevant history to the dispensing pharmacy.
- Payment. We use and share PHI to process your payments, place and release card authorizations, and manage billing.
- Health care operations. We use PHI to run our practice — quality review, provider supervision, compliance, and secure record-keeping.
- Business associates. We share PHI with vendors that perform services for us (e.g., electronic medical records, secure messaging, payment processing) only under written agreements requiring them to safeguard it.
- As required or permitted by law. Including public health reporting, health oversight, responding to lawful subpoenas or court orders, preventing a serious threat to health or safety, and reporting abuse or neglect.
Uses and disclosures not described in this Notice — including most uses for marketing, any sale of PHI, and most sharing of psychotherapy notes — will be made only with your written authorization, which you may revoke at any time in writing (except to the extent we have already relied on it).
Your rights
- Access. Get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record, usually within 30 days of your request.
- Amendment. Ask us to correct PHI you believe is inaccurate or incomplete. We may deny the request in certain cases, but we will tell you why in writing.
- Restrictions. Ask us to limit what we use or share. We are not required to agree except where the law requires (e.g., items paid fully out-of-pocket that you ask us not to share with a health plan).
- Confidential communications. Ask us to contact you in a specific way (e.g., only by email, or at a specific phone number). We will accommodate reasonable requests.
- Accounting of disclosures. Receive a list of certain disclosures we have made of your PHI in the six years prior to your request.
- Copy of this Notice. Receive a paper copy on request, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.
- Choose someone to act for you. A person with medical power of attorney or legal guardianship may exercise your rights on your behalf.
To exercise any of these rights, call (813) 563-2799 or write to us at our Lutz, FL office.
