This page outlines how your Protected Health Information (PHI) may be used, disclosed, and how you can access your information.

PHI refers to any personal health information that can identify you and relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of healthcare to you, or payment for that care.

We may use or share your PHI in the following ways:

• For Payment: To bill your insurance, verify eligibility, or obtain reimbursement.
   
• For Healthcare Operations: To improve our services, conduct audits, and ensure regulatory compliance.
   
• As Required by Law: To comply with federal and state regulations, including public health reporting or legal proceedings.
   

We will never sell your health information or share it for marketing purposes without your written consent.

As a patient of Advantixx Pharmacy, you have the following rights:

• Right to Access: You may request a copy of your health records.
   
• Right to Amend: You may request corrections to your records if you believe there is an error.
   
• Right to an Accounting of Disclosures: You may ask for a list of times we shared your PHI, who we shared it with, and why.
   
• Right to Request Restrictions: You may request limits on how we use or disclose your PHI.

We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
