Our Privacy policy

Light and Mind Wellness is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our patients’ health information. It is the policy of our practice that all clinicians, staff members, and affiliated providers preserve the integrity and confidentiality of Protected Health Information (PHI) in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. 

Our practice complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and all applicable privacy and security regulations. We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect PHI from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.

Protected Health Information may be used and disclosed only as permitted or required by law, including for purposes of:

• Treatment
   
• Payment
   
• Healthcare operations
   

PHI may also be disclosed when required by state or federal law, court order, or as necessary to protect the safety of the patient or others, in accordance with legal and ethical obligations.

Patients have important rights regarding their health information, including the right to:

• Access and obtain copies of their medical records
   
• Request corrections to their medical records
   
• Request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures of PHI, as permitted by law
   
• Receive a list of certain disclosures of their PHI
   
• Request confidential communications
   

Requests related to medical records or privacy concerns should be submitted in writing to our office.

Please note that email, website contact forms, and online messaging platforms are not intended for urgent or clinical communication and may not be HIPAA-secure. Patients should contact our office directly by phone for scheduling or general inquiries and call emergency services for urgent concerns. Light and Mind Wellness reserves the right to update this Privacy Policy as required by law or practice operations. Any changes will be posted on our website and will apply to all PHI maintained by the practice. If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or your privacy rights, don't hesitate to get in touch with our office directly.
