HIPAA and California Law Compliance

We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal health information in compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as well as applicable California and Colorado state laws.

For patients receiving healthcare services from our practice, we follow the requirements of HIPAA with respect to uses and disclosures of protected health information (PHI). This includes adhering to HIPAA’s standards for privacy, security, breach notification, and enforcement.

In addition, we comply with the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) which imposes stricter privacy protections in certain areas beyond HIPAA’s requirements. Under CMIA, we maintain comprehensive policies and procedures regarding permissible uses and disclosures of medical information, individual authorization requirements, access rights, record retention, and administrative safeguards.

As a HIPAA-covered entity, we may share PHI with business associates and other covered entities for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations purposes in accordance with HIPAA regulations. However, other personal information collected from California residents outside of providing healthcare services (e.g. website visitor data, employee records) is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requirements such as providing notice, offering opt-out rights, and honoring access/deletion requests.

We take our obligations under HIPAA, CMIA, CCPA and other applicable privacy laws seriously. Contact us with any questions about our data practices and your rights as a California or Colorado resident.
