CareMGMT™ PRIVACY NOTICES

HEALTH INFORMATION

There are two categories of Health Information that we and our service providers

may collect through our apps: Protected Health Information and Additional Health

Information.

“Protected health information” (PHI) is individually identifiable health information which is created or received by a covered entity (for example, a health care provider or health plan) and relates to the past present or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual, the provision of health care to an individual, or the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual. PHI is further defined by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and is subject to the protections of HIPAA. We and our service providers may collect PHI in connection with this app. Our privacy practices are intended to comply with HIPAA, and we will maintain the privacy of your PHI as required by HIPAA and the regulations promulgated under that Act.

“Additional health information” is information which does not fall within the category of Protected Health Information above (typically because it was not created or received by a provider or health plan), but which is the combination of your personal information, such as your name, address and other contact information, with information related to past, present or future physical or mental health or conditions, the provision of health care to an individual, or the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual. We and our service providers may collect such additional health information through this app.

In order to use this app, you must review and provide your consent to our Privacy Policy, available on the following pages, which describes how we may use and disclose your PHI, personal information and Additional health information. To proceed, select your choices regarding our use and disclosure of your PHI, personal information and Additional health information.
