HIPAA Compliance Statement

Effective Date: 04/02/2025

At Brevard Chiropractic, we are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your Protected Health Information (PHI) in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and applicable state laws.

This statement explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your health information when you interact with our website or provide personal details through online forms.

1. HIPAA & Patient Privacy

HIPAA is a federal law that establishes national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without your consent.

At Brevard Chiropractic, we take the confidentiality of your PHI seriously and implement safeguards to protect any data collected through our website.

2. Information We May Collect

Our website may allow you to:

• Request appointments.
• Contact us with inquiries about chiropractic care.
• Provide limited personal details via online forms.

If you submit personal or medical information through our website, we handle it with the same level of confidentiality as in our physical office. However, please note that email and online contact forms may not be fully secure, and we encourage you to avoid sharing sensitive health details online.

3. How We Protect Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal and health-related information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. These measures include:

• Secure Data Handling: We implement industry-standard security protocols to protect electronic communications.
• Access Controls: Only authorized personnel can access patient data.
• Compliance with HIPAA Rules: Our policies and procedures align with HIPAA’s privacy and security standards.

If you have concerns about the security of your PHI, please contact us directly via phone or in person rather than using online forms or email.

4. Third-Party Services & Data Transmission

If we use third-party tools for scheduling, email communication, or payment processing, these providers are expected to comply with HIPAA security standards. However, we advise patients to verify their security measures when submitting personal information online.

5. Your Rights Under HIPAA

As a patient, you have the following rights regarding your Protected Health Information:

• Right to Access – You can request a copy of your health records.
• Right to Amend – You may request corrections to incorrect or incomplete information.
• Right to Restrict Use – You can request limitations on how your PHI is used or disclosed.
• Right to Confidential Communication – You may request that we communicate with you in a specific manner (e.g., by phone instead of email).
