Notice of Privacy Practices

Silk Skin Medical Spa, LLC is required by law to maintain the privacy of your protected health information ("PHI"), to provide you with this notice describing our legal duties and privacy practices with respect to PHI, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect. This notice applies to the health information we collect and maintain as a healthcare provider — it governs your care as a patient, not your use of this website.

For treatment. We use and disclose your health information to provide, coordinate, and manage the care you receive, including consultations, assessments, and treatments performed at the practice.

For payment. We use and disclose your health information as necessary to obtain payment for the services you receive, including billing and, where applicable, communication with your insurer.

For healthcare operations. We use your health information for activities that support the practice's operation, such as quality assessment, staff training, and administrative functions related to your care.

We may also be required or permitted to disclose your health information in more limited circumstances required by law, such as in response to a valid court order, to public health authorities as required by statute, or to avert a serious threat to health or safety. Any use or disclosure beyond what this notice describes requires your written authorization, which you may revoke at any time in writing.

You have the right to:

• Request a copy of your health information and records maintained by the practice.
• Request that we amend your health information if you believe it is incorrect or incomplete.
• Request an accounting of certain disclosures of your health information.
• Request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of your health information, though we are not required to agree to every request.
• Request confidential communications by an alternative means or at an alternative location.
• Receive a paper copy of this notice upon request, even if you have agreed to receive it electronically.
• Be notified in the event of a breach of your unsecured health information, as required by law.

If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a complaint with the practice or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights. You will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint. To file a complaint with the practice, or to exercise any of the rights described above, reach us through our contact page.

We reserve the right to change the terms of this notice and to make the revised notice effective for health information we already maintain, as well as any information we receive in the future. A current copy of this notice will be available at the practice and on this website.
