Your Rights

You have certain rights regarding your health information. Eycon will help you understand and exercise those rights.

Get a copy of your medical record

You may ask to inspect or obtain a copy of your paper or electronic medical record and other health information we maintain about you. We will provide a copy or summary within the time required by law. A reasonable, cost-based fee may apply where permitted.

Ask us to correct your record

You may ask us to correct health information you believe is incorrect or incomplete. We may deny your request in certain circumstances, but if we do, we will explain the reason in writing.

Request confidential communications

You may ask us to contact you in a specific way, such as by phone, email, mail, or at a different address. We will honor reasonable requests when possible.

Ask us to limit what we use or share

You may ask us not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or health care operations. We are not required to agree to every request, but we will consider it carefully. If you pay for a service or item out of pocket in full, you may ask us not to share information about that service with your health insurer for payment or health care operations, and we will honor that request unless the law requires disclosure.

Get a list of certain disclosures

You may ask for an accounting of certain disclosures of your health information made by Eycon during the period allowed by law.

Get a copy of this notice

You may request a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you agreed to receive it electronically.

Choose someone to act for you

If you have given someone medical power of attorney or if someone is your legal guardian or personal representative, that person may exercise your rights and make choices about your health information, consistent with applicable law.

File a complaint

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with Eycon using the contact information listed above. You may also file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. Eycon will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.

Your Choices

In certain situations, you have choices about how Eycon uses and shares your information. You may tell us your preferences regarding:

sharing information with family members, friends, or others involved in your care or payment for your care
contacting you about appointment reminders
contacting you about treatment alternatives or health-related benefits and services
leaving messages by phone, text, voicemail, or email, as authorized by you or otherwise permitted by law

If you are not able to tell us your preference, Eycon may share your information if, in our professional judgment, doing so is in your best interest or is otherwise permitted by law.

Eycon does not sell personal health information. Eycon will not use or disclose your information for marketing purposes or sell your information unless you give written authorization when authorization is required by law.
