Your Information. Your Rights. Our Responsibilities.

This notice describes how health information about you may be used and disclosed by Tavola Nutrition LLC and how you can access this information. Please review it carefully.

We do not use or disclose your protected health information for marketing purposes without your written authorization when authorization is required by law.

​

Your Rights

When it comes to your health information, you have certain rights. This section explains those rights and some of our responsibilities.

​

Get an electronic or paper copy of your health record

You may ask to see or receive an electronic or paper copy of your health record and other health information we maintain about you.

We will generally provide a copy or summary of your health information within the timeframe required by law. A reasonable, cost-based fee may apply when permitted.

​

Ask us to correct your health record

You may ask us to correct health information that you believe is incorrect or incomplete.

We may deny your request in certain circumstances, but if we do, we will explain why in writing as required by law.

​

Request confidential communications

You may ask us to contact you in a specific way, such as by phone, secure portal, or email, or to use a different address or contact method.

We will accommodate reasonable requests.

​

Ask us to limit what we use or share

You may ask us not to use or share certain health information for treatment, payment, or health care operations.

We are not always required to agree to your request. If we agree to a restriction, we will follow it except where disclosure may be permitted or required by law, including certain emergency situations.

If you pay in full out of pocket for a health care service, you may ask us not to disclose information about that service to your health plan for payment or health care operations unless disclosure is required by law.

​

Get a list of certain disclosures

You may request an accounting of certain disclosures of your health information made during the six years before your request.

The accounting will not include every type of disclosure, including certain disclosures made for treatment, payment, health care operations, or disclosures you specifically authorized.

One accounting within a 12-month period will generally be provided without charge. A reasonable fee may apply to additional requests as permitted by law.

​

Get a copy of this privacy notice

You may request a paper or electronic copy of this Notice of Privacy Practices at any time.

​

Choose someone to act for you

If another person has legal authority to act on your behalf, such as through a valid medical power of attorney or guardianship, that person may exercise your privacy rights.

We may verify that person's authority before taking action.
