This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how we may use and disclose your protected health information to carry out your treatment, collect payment for your care, and manage the operations of this clinic. It also outlines our policies concerning the use and disclosure of this information for other purposes as permitted or required by law. Additionally, it details your rights to access and control your protected health information (PHI), which includes demographic information that may identify you and relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, and related healthcare services.
We are required by federal law to abide by the terms of this Notice of Privacy Practices. We may change the terms of our notice at any time. The new notice will be effective for all protected health information we maintain at that time.

A. Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information
By applying to be treated in our office or at your location (house calls), you imply consent to the use and disclosure of your protected health information by your doctor, our office staff, and others involved in your care and treatment for the purpose of providing healthcare services to you. Your protected health information may also be used and disclosed for billing purposes and to support the operation of the practice if Anywhere Chiropractic LLC ever becomes an insurance provider.
Uses and Disclosures Based on Implied Consent
- Treatment: We will use and disclose your protected health information to provide, coordinate, or manage your healthcare and related services.

If we become an in-network insurance provider, we may share your protected health information with third-party “business associates” (e.g., billing or transcription services). We will have written contracts with these associates to ensure your information is protected.
We may also contact you with appointment reminders, information about treatment alternatives, or other health-related benefits and services that may be of interest to you.
