Treatment:
We will use the information to provide, coordinate and manage care and treatment. For example we will release films and reports to another medical provider who is involved in your care.
Payment:
We will use information to receive payment for services we provide. For example we will disclose information in order to submit bills or claims to insurance companies and/or Medicare or State funded plans.
Health Care Operations:
We will use information for certain activities related to business functions of St. Paul Radiology. For example, we may use or disclose information for quality assurance activities.
Appointment Reminders and Other Health Information:
At our imaging centers we often make appointment reminder calls or need to reschedule an appointment. Information may be used to provide you with information about new or alternative treatments or other health care services that may be of interest to you.
Family Members or Other Responsible People:
You may agree to have verbal information about your treatment or diagnosis shared with a family member or designee. If you are unable to make health care decisions, St. Paul Radiology will disclose relevant medical information to family members or other responsible people if we feel it is in your best interest to do so. For example, we may provide limited medical information to allow another family member to pick up an x-ray for the patient.
Other Uses or Disclosures: Disclosures or use information in the following cases:
when required by law; for public health activities; relating to victims of abuse/neglect/domestic violence; for health oversight activities; for judicial and administrative proceedings to the extent permitted by law; for law enforcement purposes, as permitted or required by law; to coroners/medical examiners/funeral directors, as permitted by law; for organ donation purposes; for research purposes under certain circumstances; to avert a serious threat to health or safety; for certain specialized government functions, such as military discharge and national security and intelligence; and for workers' compensation purposes.
Your individual Privacy Right as a patient include the following:
Restrict Use and Disclosure: You have the right to request that St. Paul Radiology not use medical information in certain ways or for certain purposes. You may also request that we not provide medical information to certain individuals. However, St. Paul Radiology has the right to refuse your request, particularly when law requires it. In the case where emergency treatment is necessary, we will ask the person(s) who receive the information not to further use or disclose the information.
Provide Confidentiality:
You have the right to request that St. Paul Radiology provide you with your medical information in a confidential manner. For example, you can request that we send bills and other mailings to a different address or that we notify you of this kind of information in another way, such as by telephone call. You must make this request in writing and specify another address or means of communication. Under certain circumstances, we may deny your request. We will agree to your request to the extent we are able to assure accuracy in doing so. Your request for such confidentiality may require that you provide us with information on how you will pay your bills.
Research:
Under certain circumstances, we may use and disclose medical information about you for research purposes. We will only do this with your written authorization, or with the approval of a special board that will insure that there is only a minimal risk to your privacy.

Change Information or Amend Medical Records:
You have the right to request in writing that we change information in your medical record if we were the originator of such information. If your request is denied, you can write a statement of disagreement with the denial that we will keep with your medical information.
Accounting of Disclosures:
You have the right to request an accounting of disclosures. This would include releasing medical information about you, which was not related to Treatment, Payment, Healthcare operations, or information you requested to release to another facility or persons.
