NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION.
PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

Protecting you privacy

Protecting your privacy and your medical information is at the core of our business. We recognize our obligations to keep your information secure and confidential whether
on paper or the Internet. At  Momentum Pain Management, privacy is one of our highest priorities.

Keeping your information

Keeping the medical and health information we have about you secure is one of our most important responsibilities. We value your trust and will handle your information
with care. Our employees access information about you only when necessary to provide treatment, verify eligibility, obtain authorization, process claims and otherwise
meet your needs. We may also access information about you when considering a request from you or when exercising our rights under the law or any agreement with
you. We safeguard information during all business practices according to established security standards and procedures, and we continually assess new technology for
protecting information. Our employees are trained to understand and comply with these information principles. 

Working to meet your needs through information

In the course of doing business, we collect and use various types of information, like name and address and claims information. We use information to provide service
to you, to process your claims and to bring you health information that might be of interest to you.

Keeping information accurate

Keeping your health information accurate and up-to-date is very important. If you believe the health information we have about you is incomplete, inaccurate or not current,
please call or write us at the telephone numbers and address listed below. We take appropriate action to correct any erroneous information as quickly as possible
through a standard set of practices and procedures.

How – and why- information is shared

We limit who receives information and what type of information is shared.  

• Sharing information within Momentum Pain Management. We share information within our company to deliver you the health care services and the related information
  and education programs specified in your plan.

• Sharing information with companies that work for us. To help us offer you our services, we may share information with companies that work for us, such as claim
  processing and mailing companies and companies that deliver health education and information directly to you. These companies act on our behalf and are obligated contractually to keep the information that we provide them confidential.

• Others. Patient-specific personally identifiable data is released only when required to provide a service for you and only to those with a need to know, or with your
  consent. Data is released with the condition that the person receiving the data will not release it further, unless you give permission. Except as required by law or as
  described above, we do not share information with other parties including government agencies. Momentum Pain Management does not share any customer
  information with third-party marketers who offer their products and services to our patients.

Count on our commitment to your privacy

You can count on us to keep you informed about how we protect your privacy and limit the sharing of information you provide to us – whether it’s at our office, over the
phone or through the Internet.
