Practice Policies

I prioritize the privacy and confidentiality of your family's health information. My practices at MAPS are aligned with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and relevant Washington State laws to ensure the protection of your Protected Health Information (PHI). This includes any information that identifies you and relates to your past, present, or future physical or mental health, and any related health care services. I maintain rigorous protocols to safeguard your PHI, only disclosing it with your explicit authorization or as required by law. My commitment to privacy is unwavering, and I provide access to your records upon request, allowing you to review and correct them as necessary. If you have any concerns about your privacy rights, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I want to assure you that your family's trust and confidentiality are of utmost importance at MAPS. I will use your PHI strictly for evaluation, treatment, payment, and health care operations, always adhering to the minimum necessary principle. In specific situations, such as court orders or instances of abuse or neglect, I may be legally required to disclose information without your authorization, but I do so with the greatest care and legal compliance. My privacy practices are transparent and accessible, and I encourage you to reach out with any questions or requests regarding your PHI. By choosing MAPS, you are choosing a practice that values and protects your family's privacy every step of the way.
