HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices
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.
This notice applies to protected health information maintained by Snatched Medical Spa, LLC, doing business as Snatched Aesthetics. It is separate from our Website Privacy Policy. You may request a paper copy at any time.
Privacy questions and requests: Contact the practice’s privacy contact through 833-969-5477, info@snatchedmedicalspa.com, or the office address above. Ask our team how to submit records or supporting documents through an appropriate channel; do not send sensitive records in ordinary email.
Your rights
Access your health information
You can ask to inspect or obtain an electronic or paper copy of your medical record and other health information we maintain about you. Contact us for instructions. We generally act on access requests within 30 days, subject to extensions and exceptions permitted by law. A reasonable, cost-based fee may apply where allowed.
Request a correction
You can ask us to amend health information you believe is incorrect or incomplete. If we deny an amendment request, we will explain the reason in writing, generally within 60 days, and explain the options available to you.
Request confidential communications
You can ask us to contact you in a particular way or at a different address or telephone number. We will accommodate reasonable requests.
Request restrictions
You can ask us to limit certain uses or disclosures for treatment, payment, or health care operations. We are not required to agree to every request. If we agree, we will follow the restriction except as permitted by law, including when information is needed for emergency treatment.
If you pay for a health care item or service out of pocket in full, you may ask us not to disclose the related information to your health plan for payment or health care operations. We will honor that request unless disclosure is required by law.
Receive an accounting of disclosures
You may request an accounting of certain disclosures made during the six years before your request. The accounting excludes disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations and other disclosures excluded by law, including many disclosures you authorize. One accounting in a 12-month period is free; a reasonable fee may apply to additional requests after we inform you of the fee.
Obtain a copy of this notice
You may request a paper copy promptly at any time, even if you previously agreed to receive it electronically.
Choose a personal representative
A person legally authorized to act for you, such as a guardian or a person with an applicable health care power of attorney, may exercise your rights as permitted by law. We will verify that person’s authority before taking action.
Make a complaint without retaliation
You can complain to us or to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights. We will not retaliate against you for making a complaint. Contact details appear below.
Your choices and written authorizations
You can tell us your preferences about sharing information with family members, friends, or others involved in your care or payment for care, and about sharing information for disaster relief. When you are unable to express a preference, we may share information consistent with applicable law and professional judgment, including when it is in your best interests or needed to address a serious and imminent threat.
Uses and disclosures for marketing that require authorization, the sale of protected health information, and most disclosures of psychotherapy notes require your written authorization, except where the law specifically permits otherwise. Patient photographs or testimonials that identify you and disclose your care require an appropriate authorization before their use in public marketing.
Other uses or disclosures not described in this notice will be made only with your written authorization or as permitted or required by law. You may revoke an authorization in writing at any time, except to the extent we have already acted in reliance on it or another legal exception applies. Accepting website terms or cookie settings is not a substitute for a required health-information authorization.
If we contact you for fundraising, you may opt out of further fundraising communications. If fundraising would use substance use disorder patient records protected by 42 CFR part 2, we will provide a clear advance notice and a choice about receiving those communications.
Our uses and disclosures
Treatment, payment, and health care operations
As permitted by law, we may use and share health information to provide and coordinate your care, communicate with other professionals treating you, arrange payment for services, maintain records, support quality improvement, and operate the practice. For example, we may review your treatment history to plan care or use necessary information to process a payment. Service providers that handle protected health information for us must meet the applicable legal requirements.
Other permitted or required disclosures
Subject to the conditions and limits imposed by law, information may also be used or disclosed:
- For public health and safety, such as reporting certain diseases, suspected abuse or neglect, adverse reactions, product recalls, or a serious threat to health or safety.
- For health oversight activities, audits, investigations, and legally authorized government functions.
- For research when the applicable authorization, review, waiver, or other legal requirements have been met.
- To comply with applicable law, including a lawful request from the Department of Health and Human Services to assess privacy compliance.
- For organ or tissue donation, or to a coroner, medical examiner, or funeral director carrying out legally authorized duties.
- For workers’ compensation, law enforcement, military, national security, or other government purposes when specifically permitted by law.
- In response to a court or administrative order, or a subpoena or other legal process that meets the applicable requirements. Receiving a request alone does not remove those requirements.
Specially protected information
Where Utah or other applicable law provides additional privacy protections, we follow those more protective requirements. Special restrictions may apply to particular records; a general permission in this notice does not override them.
Substance use disorder records: If we receive or maintain substance use disorder patient records subject to 42 CFR part 2, we may not use or disclose those records, or testimony describing them, in civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceedings or investigations against you without your written consent or a court order accompanied by a subpoena or other legally required process. The additional protections of part 2 continue to apply as required by law.
Information lawfully shared with a recipient who is not subject to HIPAA may be redisclosed and may no longer be protected by HIPAA. Other laws, including 42 CFR part 2 where applicable, may continue to restrict its use or disclosure.
Our responsibilities
- Maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information as required by law.
- Provide this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices and follow the notice currently in effect.
- Notify you as required by law if a breach compromises the privacy or security of your information.
- Use or disclose information only as described here, as authorized by you, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
Changes to this notice
We may change this notice and make the revised practices apply to information we already maintain as well as information received later, to the extent permitted by law. A revised notice will state its effective date and will be available on this website, in our office, and upon request.
