Your Rights
Following is a statement of your rights with respect to your protected health information and a brief description of how you may exercise
these rights.
You have the right to inspect and copy your protected health information. This means you may inspect and obtain a copy of protected
health information about you that is contained in a designated record set for as long as we can maintain the protected health information.
A “designated record set” contains speech language/hearing services records and any other records that the Center uses for making
decisions about you.
Under federal law, however, you may not inspect or copy the following records: information compiled in reasonable anticipation of, or use
in, a civil, criminal, or administrative action or proceeding, and protected health information that is subject to law that prohibits access to
protected health information. Depending on the circumstances, a decision to deny access may be reviewed. In some circumstances, you
may have a right to have this decision reviewed. Please contact our Privacy Contact if you have questions about access to your medical
record.
You have the right to request a restriction of your protected health information. This means you may ask us not to use or disclose any
part of your protected health information for the purposes of treatment, payment or healthcare operations. You may also request that any
part of your protected health information not be disclosed to family members or friends who may be involved in your care or for
notification purposes as described in this Notice of Privacy Practices. Your request must state the specific restriction requested and to
whom you want the restriction to apply.
The Center is not required to agree to a restriction that you may request. If the Center believes it is in your best interest to permit use and
disclosure of your protected health information, your protected health information will not be restricted. If the center does agree to the
requested restriction, we may not use or disclose your protected health information in violation of that restriction unless it is needed to
provide emergency treatment. You may request a restriction by contacting our Privacy Officer.
You have the right to request to receive confidential communications from us by alternative means or at an alternative location.
We will accommodate reasonable requests. We may also condition this accommodation by asking you for information as to how payment
will be handled or specification of an alternative address or other method of contact. We will not request an explanation from you as to the
basis for the request. Please make this request in writing to our Privacy Officer.
You may have the right to have the Baylor University Speech and Hearing Clinic amend your protected health information.
This means you may request an amendment of protected health information about you in a designated record set for as long as we
maintain this information. In certain cases, we may deny your request for an amendment. If we deny your request for an amendment, you
have the right to file a statement of disagreement with us and we may prepare a rebuttal to your statement and will provide you with a
copy of any such rebuttal. Please contact our Privacy Officer to determine if you have questions about amending your medical record.
You have the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures we have made, if any, of your protected health information.
This right applies to disclosures for purposes other than treatment, payment or healthcare operations as described in this Notice of Privacy
Practices. It excludes disclosures we may have made to you, to family members or friends involved in your care, or for notification
purposes. You have the right to receive specific information regarding these disclosures that occurred after April 14, 2003. You may request
a shorter timeframe. The right to receive this information is subject to certain exceptions, restrictions and limitations.
You have the right to obtain a paper copy of this notice from us, upon request, even if you have agreed to accept this notice electronically
