Privacy Policy / HIPAA

As of April 14, 2003 the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) went into effect. Our office has gone to great lengths to ensure the confidentiality and privacy of every patient. We are compliant with the electronic transmission of dental claims, including firewalls, software certification and requirements and coding. A copy of our Notice of Privacy Practices is available to all patients and is posted in our office for your review. A Written Acknowledgment will be given to every patient to sign after review of our policies. You have the right to refuse to sign this form, however, we will not be able to transmit insurance claims on your behalf. Please feel free to ask any staff member any questions regarding HIPAA.

This form, Notice of Privacy Practices, presents the information that federal law requires us to give our patients regarding our privacy practices.
