Our duties
210 Pediatrics PLLC is required by law to keep your child's health information private, to give you this notice of our legal duties and privacy practices, and to follow the terms of the notice currently in effect. We will notify you promptly if a breach occurs that may have compromised the privacy or security of your child's information.
How we may use and disclose your child's health information
For treatment. To provide and coordinate your child's care — for example, sending a prescription to your pharmacy, or sharing visit information with a specialist you choose.
For payment. To bill and collect payment — for example, processing your payment and providing receipts or documentation you request for reimbursement.
For our health-care operations. To run our practice — appointment reminders, follow-up check-ins you agree to, quality improvement, and training.
As required by law. For example, reporting certain diseases to public-health authorities, responding to a court order, or reporting suspected child abuse or neglect as the law requires.
With your written authorization. Any other use or disclosure — including any use for marketing — happens only with your written authorization, which you may revoke at any time.
We do not sell your child's health information. Ever.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Get a copy of your child's records, in paper or electronic form. We will provide a copy, usually within 30 days of your request (sooner for electronic records under Texas law). We may charge a reasonable, cost-based fee.
- Ask us to correct a record you believe is wrong or incomplete.
- Request confidential communications — for example, asking us to contact you at a specific phone number. We will say yes to all reasonable requests.
- Ask us to limit what we use or share. If you pay for a service in full out of pocket, you can ask us not to share that information with a health plan, and we will honor that request.
- Get a list of who we have shared information with (an accounting of disclosures), other than for treatment, payment, or operations, for the six years before your request.
- Get a copy of this notice at any time, including a paper copy.
- File a complaint with us or with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have been violated. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
