Effective Date: August 4, 2026

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.

Our Pledge Regarding Your Health Information

Eating Disorder Solutions (“EDS”) understands that health information about you and your health care is personal. We are committed to protecting health information about you. We create a record of the care and services you receive from us. We need this record to provide you with quality care and to comply with certain legal requirements.

This Notice applies to all of the records of your care generated by this facility. This Notice will tell you about the ways in which we may use and disclose health information about you. We also describe your rights to the health information we keep about you, and describe certain obligations we have regarding the use and disclosure of your health information.

How We May Use and Disclose Health Information About You

The following categories describe different ways that we use and disclose health information.

  • For Treatment: We may use health information about you to provide you with medical treatment or services. We may disclose health information about you to doctors, nurses, therapists, registered dietitians, technicians, or other facility personnel who are involved in taking care of you at EDS. For example, a therapist treating you for an eating disorder may need to know about your dietary plan to ensure your treatment is coordinated.
  • For Payment: We may use and disclose health information about you so that the treatment and services you receive at EDS may be billed to and payment may be collected from you, an insurance company, or a third party.
  • For Health Care Operations: We may use and disclose health information about you for our health care operations. These uses and disclosures are necessary to run the facility and make sure that all of our patients receive quality care.

Special Protections for Certain Records

If your treatment involves records protected by specific state or federal laws (such as mental health records, HIV/AIDS information, or substance use disorder records under 42 CFR Part 2 [1]), we will obtain your specific written authorization before disclosing such information, except as otherwise permitted or required by law.

If applicable, Part 2 SUD records cannot be used in civil, criminal, administrative, or legislative proceedings without your written consent or a specific court order [2].

Uses and Disclosures Permitted Without Your Authorization

Federal law permits us to disclose information without your written authorization in certain limited circumstances, including:

  • Medical Emergencies: To medical personnel to the extent necessary to meet a bona fide medical emergency.
  • Child Abuse or Neglect: To report suspected child abuse or neglect to appropriate state or local authorities.
  • Public Health Risks: As required by law for public health activities.
  • Health Oversight Activities: To a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law.
  • Lawsuits and Disputes: In response to a court or administrative order.
  • Law Enforcement: If asked to do so by a law enforcement official under specific circumstances.

Uses Requiring Your Written Authorization

Other than as described in this Notice, we will not use or disclose your health information without your written authorization. This includes most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes, uses of your health information for marketing purposes, and any disclosure that would constitute a sale of your health information. You may revoke a written authorization at any time, except to the extent we have already relied on it.

Your Rights Regarding Your Health Information

You have the following rights regarding health information we maintain about you:

  • Right to Inspect and Copy: You have the right to inspect and copy health information that may be used to make decisions about your care.
  • Right to Amend: If you feel that health information we have about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask us to amend the information.
  • Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You have the right to request an “accounting of disclosures.” This is a list of the disclosures we made of your health information, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Right to Request Restrictions: You have the right to request a restriction or limitation on the health information we use or disclose about you for treatment, payment, or health care operations. We are not required to agree to your request, except under specific circumstances related to out-of-pocket payments.
  • Right to Request Confidential Communications: You have the right to request that we communicate with you about medical matters in a certain way or at a certain location.
  • Right to a Paper Copy of This Notice: You have the right to a paper copy of this Notice at any time.

Changes to This Notice

We reserve the right to change this Notice. We reserve the right to make the revised or changed Notice effective for health information we already have about you as well as any information we receive in the future. We will post a copy of the current Notice at our facility and on our website.

Complaints

If you have any concerns about how your health information has been handled, please contact our Privacy Officer directly first — most concerns can be resolved quickly this way, and you will not be penalized in any way for raising one. Separately, federal law gives you the right to file a complaint with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
