The parties agree to advise and require their respective employees, agents, and subcontractors of their obligations to keep all Confidential Information confidential.

  • Access to Information; Confidentiality (a) Upon reasonable advance written notice, subject to applicable logistical restrictions or limitations as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures and solely for purposes of furthering the Merger Transactions, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective representatives reasonable access during normal business hours during the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, to all their respective properties, assets, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent: (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request (including Tax Returns filed and those in preparation and the workpapers of its auditors).

  • LIMITS ON CONFIDENTIALITY The law protects the privacy of all communications between a patient and a psychotherapist. In most situations, I can only release information about your treatment to others if you sign a written authorization form that meets certain legal requirements imposed by HIPAA. There are other situations that require only that you provide written, advance consent. Your signature on this Agreement provides consent for those activities, as follows: • I may occasionally find it helpful to consult other health and mental health professionals about a case. During a consultation, I make every effort to avoid revealing the identity of my patient. The other professionals are also legally bound to keep the information confidential. If you don’t object, I will not tell you about these consultations unless I feel that it is important to our work together. I will note all consultations in your Clinical Record (which is called “PHI” in my Notice of Psychotherapist’s Policies and Practices to Protect the Privacy of Your Health Information). • You should be aware that I practice with other mental health professionals and that I employ administrative staff. In most cases, I need to share protected information with these individuals for both clinical and administrative purposes, such as scheduling, billing, and quality assurance. All of the mental health professionals are bound by the same rules of confidentiality. All staff members have been given training about protecting your privacy and have agreed not to release any information outside of the practice without my permission. • I also have a contract with a billing service. As required by HIPAA, I have a formal business associate contract with this business, in which it promises to maintain the confidentiality of this data except as specifically allowed in the contract or otherwise required by law. If you wish, I can provide you the name of this organization and/or a blank copy of this contract. I also will ask for your permission before having the billing service contact you. • Disclosures required by health insurers or to collect overdue fees are discussed elsewhere in this Agreement. • If a patient threatens to harm himself/herself, I may be obligated to seek hospitalization for him/her, or to contact family members or others who can help provide protection. There are some situations where I am permitted or required to disclose information without either your consent or Authorization: • If you are involved in a court proceeding and a request is made for information concerning my professional services, such information is protected by the psychotherapist-patient privilege law. I cannot provide any information without your (or your legal representative’s) written authorization, or a court order, or a subpoena of which you have been officially notified and failed to inform me that you are opposing the subpoena. If you are involved in or contemplating litigation, you should consult with your attorney to determine whether a court would be likely to order me to disclose information. • If a government agency is requesting the information for health oversight activities, I may be required to provide it for them. • If a patient files a complaint or lawsuit against me, I may disclose relevant information regarding that patient in order to defend myself. • If a patient files a worker’s compensation claim, information that is directly related to that claim must, upon appropriate request, be provided to the Workers’ Compensation Commission. There are some situations in which I am legally obligated to take actions, which I believe are necessary to attempt to protect others from harm and I may have to reveal some information about a patient’s treatment. These situations are unusual in my practice. § If I have reason to know or suspect that a child has been abused or neglected, or has been a victim of sexual abuse by another child, the law requires that I file a report with the Department for Children, Youth and Families. Once such a report is filed, I may be required to provide additional information. § If I believe that a patient presents a risk to a person or his/her family, I may be required to take protective actions including warning the potential victim(s), contacting the police, or seeking hospitalization of the patient. If such a situation arises, I will make every effort to fully discuss it with you before taking any action and I will limit my disclosure to what is necessary. While this written summary of exceptions to confidentiality should prove helpful in informing you about potential problems, it is important that we discuss any questions or concerns that you may have now or in the future. The laws governing confidentiality can be quite complex, and I am not an attorney. In situations where specific advice is required, formal legal advice may be needed.
