NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES 

Printer friendly version 

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. 

SOS AbundaBox, LLC and its Affiliated Covered Entities (collectively “AbundaBox”) are committed to protecting the privacy of your identifiable health information. This information is known as “protected health information” or “PHI.” Examples of documents that may contain your PHI include laboratory test orders, test results and invoices. 
 

Our Responsibilities 

AbundaBox is required by law to maintain the privacy of your PHI. We are also required to provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices upon request. It describes our legal duties, privacy practices and your patient rights as determined by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). We are required to follow the terms of this Notice currently in effect. We are required to notify affected individuals in the event of a breach involving PHI that is unsecured. PHI is stored electronically and is subject to electronic disclosure. This Notice does not apply to certain services that we perform, such as some drugs of abuse testing services and insurance applicant services. 
 

How We May Use or Disclose Your Health Information 

We use your PHI for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations purposes and for other purposes permitted or required by law. Not every use or disclosure is listed in this Notice, but all of our uses or disclosures of your PHI will fall into one of the categories listed below. 

We need your authorization to use or disclose your PHI for any purpose not covered by one of the categories below. With limited exceptions, we will not use or disclose psychotherapy notes, use or disclose your PHI for marketing purposes or sell your PHI unless you have signed an authorization. You may revoke any authorization you sign at any time. If you revoke your authorization, we will no longer use or disclose your PHI except to the extent we have already taken action based on your authorization. 

We may use and disclose your PHI for the following purposes: 
 

Treatment 

AbundaBox facilitates laboratory testing for physicians and other healthcare professionals through authorized and credentialed laboratory testing providers, that use your PHI in the testing process after you provide consent for care. We disclose your PHI to authorized healthcare professionals who order tests or need access to your test results for treatment purposes. We may use and disclose PHI to contact you about our services, such as to remind you of an appointment or to return your specimen collection kit, notify you of the status of your laboratory testing, or to tell you about our health-related products and services that may be of interest to you. Examples of other treatment-related purposes include disclosure to a pathologist to help interpret your test results or use of your PHI to contact you to obtain another specimen, if necessary. 

Payment 
 

AbundaBox may use and disclose your PHI for purposes of billing and payment. For example, we may disclose your PHI to health plans or other payers to determine whether you are enrolled with the payer or eligible for health benefits or to obtain payment for our services. If you are insured under another person’s health insurance policy (for example, parent, spouse, domestic partner or a former spouse), we may also send invoices to the subscriber whose policy covers your health services.  

Healthcare Operations 

AbundaBox may use and disclose your PHI for activities necessary to support our healthcare operations. This includes functions such as performing quality checks on our testing, improving quality of care, providing information about treatment alternatives or other health-related benefits and services, developing or maintaining and supporting computer systems, conducting audits and compliance programs, including fraud, waste and abuse investigations internal audits, arranging for legal services or developing reference ranges for our tests. It also includes, for example, the sale, transfer, merger, or consolidation of all or part of AbundaBox with another covered entity, or an entity that following such activity will become a covered entity and due diligence related to the transaction(s). 

Business Associates 

We may provide your PHI to other companies or individuals that need it to provide services to us.

For example, our business associates may use your PHI to conduct billing, collections, imaging, courier, or record storage services on our behalf. 

Research 

We may use or disclose PHI for research projects, such as studying how to diagnose or treat particular diseases. These research projects must go through a special process that protects the confidentiality of your medical information. We may also use or disclose PHI about deceased patients to researchers if certain requirements are met. 

De-identified Information 
 
We may use your PHI to create “de-identified” information, which means that we remove information that can be used to identify you. There are specific rules under the law about what type of information needs to be removed before information is considered de-identified. Once information has been de-identified as required by law, it is no longer PHI and we may use it for any lawful purpose. We may de-identify your information and use, create and sell such de-identified information for research purposes, or any business or other purpose not prohibited by applicable law. Business Associate may de-identify PHI in accordance with the standards set forth 45 C.F.R. § 164.514(b) and may use or disclose such de-identified data for any reason not prohibited by applicable law if the de-identified health information meets the standard and implementation specifications for deidentification under 45 C.F.R. § 164.514(a). Business Associate shall own all right, title, and interest in and to the De-identified Data. De-identified Derived Data shall be owned by Licensor and may be combined with other de-identified customer data. De-identified Derived Data may be used for any purposes at Licensors discretion but will at a minimum be used to enhance the Platform and for machine learning to improve the model.
