HIPAA / Protected Health Information Disclosure and Security
PharmVine recognizes the importance of patient privacy and adheres to applicable Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations regarding the use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI). We implement appropriate safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of PHI, whether electronic, paper, or verbal. PHI may be used or disclosed without your authorization for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations as permitted by HIPAA. Otherwise, your explicit written authorization will be obtained before any other disclosures.
We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including access controls, encryption, and workforce training, to protect your data. Only authorized personnel and business associates with a valid need are granted access to PHI. Patients have rights under HIPAA, including the right to request access to records, receive an accounting of disclosures, and request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures of PHI.
