At SKAP Systems, we understand that your medical information is personal. We are committed to protecting your health information and following all federal and state laws regarding the protection of Protected Health Information (PHI).
When it comes to your health information, you have certain rights. This section explains your rights and some of our responsibilities to help you.
Access Your Records: You can ask to see or get an electronic or paper copy of your medical record and other health information we have about you. We will provide a copy or a summary of your health information, usually within 30 days of your request.
Correct Your Records: You can ask us to correct health information about you that you think is incorrect or incomplete. We may say “no” to your request, but we’ll tell you why in writing within 60 days.
Request Confidential Communications: You can ask us to contact you in a specific way (for example, home or office phone) or to send mail to a different address.
Limit What We Use or Share: You can ask us not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or our operations. We are not required to agree to your request, and we may say “no” if it would affect your care.
Get a List of Those With Whom We’ve Shared Information: You can ask for a list (accounting) of the times we’ve shared your health information for six years prior to the date you ask, who we shared it with, and why.
Get a Copy of This Privacy Notice: You can ask for a paper copy of this notice at any time, even if you have agreed to receive the notice electronically.
File a Complaint: If you feel we have violated your privacy rights, you can complain by contacting us using the information at the end of this notice or by filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
We typically use or share your health information in the following ways:
Treat You: We can use your health information and share it with other professionals who are treating you (e.g., a specialist or lab).
Run Our Organization: We can use and share your health information to run our clinic, improve your care, and contact you when necessary.

Comply with the Law: We will share information about you if state or federal laws require it, including with the Department of Health and Human Services if it wants to see that we’re complying with federal privacy law.
Address Workers’ Compensation, Law Enforcement, and Other Government Requests: We can use or share health information about you for workers’ compensation claims, for law enforcement purposes or with a law enforcement official, and for special government functions such as military, national security, and presidential protective services.
We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your protected health information.
We will let you know promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your information.
We must follow the duties and privacy practices described in this notice and give you a copy of it.
