The Right to Request an Accounting. You may request an accounting from us of certain disclosures of your PHI that we have made in the six years prior to the date of your request. We are not required to give you an accounting of uses or disclosures for purposes of treatment, payment, or health care operations, or when we share your PHI with our business associates, such as our billing company or a medical facility from/to which we have transported you. We are also not required to give you an accounting of our uses and disclosures of PHI for which you have given us written authorization. If you wish to request an accounting, please contact our Privacy Officer. The Right to Request that We Restrict the Uses and Disclosures of Your PHI. You have the right to request that we restrict how we use and disclose your PHI. Except as provided below, the Provider is not required to agree to any restrictions you request. However, any restrictions agreed to by the Provider in writing are binding on the Provider. We will comply with any restriction request if (1) except as otherwise required by law, the disclosure is to a health plan for purposes of carrying out payment or health care operations (and is not for purposes of carrying out treatment), and (2) the PHI pertains solely to a health care item or service for which the health care provider involved has been paid in full by you or another person. To request restrictions, please contact our Privacy Officer.
