Ask us to limit information we use or share
You may request restrictions on certain uses or disclosures for treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. We are not required to agree to every restriction.
If you pay for a healthcare item or service entirely out of pocket, you may ask us not to disclose information about that item or service to your health plan for payment or healthcare operations. We will honor the restriction when required by law, unless disclosure is itself required by law.

Your Choices About Sharing Information
In certain circumstances, you may tell us your preferences about sharing information with family members, friends, caregivers, people assisting with your care or payment, and disaster-relief organizations.
When you cannot communicate your preferences, we may use professional judgment to share information in your best interest when the law permits it. Additional restrictions may apply to specially protected records.
We will obtain your authorization when it is required for a proposed use or disclosure.
How We May Use and Disclose Health Information
The following describes uses and disclosures that may occur when permitted or required by law. Each category is subject to any additional legal restrictions that apply to the particular information.
Treatment
We may use and disclose health information to provide, coordinate, and manage your healthcare.
For example, we may communicate with a pharmacy, laboratory, specialist, primary care clinician, imaging facility, or other healthcare professional involved in your care.
Payment
We may use or disclose necessary information for billing, payment processing, and collection of amounts owed.
For example, we may use information about a service you received to prepare your statement or resolve a payment question. Full Spectrum’s visits and memberships are self-pay; this Notice does not mean that the practice bills your health plan for those services.
Healthcare operations
We may use or disclose health information for activities necessary to operate the practice, including quality assessment, compliance, credentialing, training, administrative activities, technology support, legal and accounting services, and business planning.
For example, we may review a record to assess the quality or coordination of care.
Business associates
We may share health information with vendors or contractors that perform permitted services for the practice. Where a vendor is a business associate under HIPAA, the required contractual privacy protections apply.
Public health and safety
We may disclose information when permitted or required for purposes such as reporting certain diseases, reporting suspected abuse or neglect, medication or medical-device safety, public-health investigations, and preventing or lessening a serious threat to health or safety.
Legal requirements and governmental functions
We may disclose information when a legal requirement or a permitted legal exception applies, including qualifying court or administrative proceedings, law-enforcement requests, health oversight, workers’ compensation, coroners or medical examiners, national security, and other authorized governmental functions.
A request, subpoena, or court order does not automatically override additional confidentiality protections. We apply the legal requirements governing the particular records before disclosing them.
Specially Protected Records
Substance use disorder treatment records
If we hold substance use disorder treatment records protected by 42 CFR Part 2, those records and testimony about their contents cannot be used or disclosed in proceedings against you without the required written consent or a qualifying court order. The court-order route also requires a subpoena or another legal mandate for disclosure. Part 2’s notice and hearing protections apply.
More protective state requirements
Applicable state requirements may place additional limits on particular records or disclosures. We follow the more protective requirements when they apply.
For example, Washington law restricts disclosure of sexually transmitted disease information. Disclosure must have the required authorization or fall within a specific legal exception, such as permitted treatment exchanges or mandatory public-health reporting.
Authorizations, Marketing, and Sale of Information
We obtain written authorization for uses and disclosures that require it. Most disclosures of separately maintained psychotherapy notes require authorization, subject to applicable exceptions.
We do not sell protected health information.
Identifiable patient information, photographs, testimonials, treatment results, and other protected health information will not be used for marketing in a manner requiring authorization without the appropriate written authorization.
Other uses or disclosures outside this Notice require your written authorization unless otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.
You may withdraw an authorization by writing to the Privacy Contact. Withdrawal affects future uses and disclosures; it does not undo actions already taken in reliance on the authorization.
Information After a Permitted Disclosure
Depending on the recipient, information lawfully shared may be disclosed again and may no longer be protected by HIPAA. Additional laws may continue to protect particular information.
Our Privacy Responsibilities
Full Spectrum Health & Wellness is required to:
Maintain the privacy and security of protected health information as required by law.
Provide notice of our legal duties and privacy practices.
Follow the Notice currently in effect.
Notify affected individuals of a breach when notification is legally required.
Provide patients with a copy of this Notice.
Respect applicable privacy rights.
Obtain authorization when legally required.
Electronic Health Information
Medical records may be maintained using electronic health-record systems, secure cloud-based systems, laboratories, pharmacies, telehealth platforms, and other healthcare technology services.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect electronically maintained information. Electronic communication and storage carry some risk despite reasonable security precautions. You may ask about available communication methods and request confidential communications as described above.
Changes to This Notice
We may change this Notice and, when legally permitted, apply revised terms to information already maintained by the practice and information received afterward.
The revised Notice will identify its effective date and will be available on the practice’s website, through patient communication systems where applicable, and upon request. A paper copy is available upon request.
