Focus Physical Therapy is required by law to protect the privacy of your personal health information, provide this notice about our information practices, and follow the information practices that are described herein.

Uses and Disclosures of Health Information:
Focus Physical Therapy uses your personal health information primarily for treatment, obtaining payment for treatment, conducting internal administrative activities, and evaluating the quality of care that we provide. For example, Focus Physical Therapy may use your personal health information to contact you to provide appointment reminders, information about treatment alternatives, or other health related benefits that could be of interest to you.
Focus Physical Therapy may also use or disclose your personal health information without prior authorization for public health purposes, for auditing purposes, for research studies, or for emergencies. We also provide information when required by law.
In any other situation, Focus Physical Therapy’s policy is to obtain your written authorization before disclosing your personal health information. If you provide us with a written authorization to release your information for any reason, you may later revoke that authorization to stop future disclosures at any time.
Focus Physical Therapy may change its policy at any time. When changes are made, a new Notice of Information Practices will be posted in the waiting room and patient exam areas and will be provided to you on your next visit. You may also request a copy of our Notice of Information Practices at any time.

You may also request in writing that we are not to use or disclose your personal health information for treatment, payment, and administrative purposes except when specifically authorized by you, when required by law, or in emergency circumstances. Focus Physical Therapy will consider all such requests on a case by case basis, but the practice is not legally required to accept these requests.
